Hello all--
Just "flipped" the wheel to ride my new Condor Tempo fixed for the past couple of days.
Needless to say, I'm loving it, esp. (wobbly) track-standing and a moderate amount of leg-braking (at v. slow speed so far), but my knees are killing me. So, I'm wondering: Will this pass? Or will I get used to it and / or develop the muscles of a sumo wrestler? Or am I just being a big wet blanket?! Anyone have any tips to keep the knees limber?
If I get the hang of it, I may yet come down to the car park in Peckham for a spot of polo....
