im an old fart. ive been riding for ages now...started off with a junior road bike when i was about 10...then bmx. then religously, on mtb for xc rides the last 5yrs. switched to road since moving to london and fixed last couple of months. main reason for getting onto fixed is simply cos i wanted to try it and wanted a simple fast commuter. and they look like they're fun to ride...and they are! and also cos serious riders swear that they're good training tools...not sure yet, but i think it has improved my cadence and strength.
def still be on the bike in 5yrs time. maybe for another 20yrs...depends. if my back gives in, id still ride...on a fixed recumbent?
