No idea where to post this but keen to hear others' experiences. Don't think I'm the only old-timer (52) on this forum who suddenly finds themselves a few years beyond the age at which Henri Degranges deemed 'variable gears" acceptable. Most of my riding is still on a fairly easy gear and well fitting fixed gear bicycle but my legs just feel more and more tired. It's not joint pain but muscular fatigue. Do I just accept it's time to stop riding fixed for good or do I just need to work harder on strength?
