Triathlon fixed

I guess its to do with the fact that most of triathletes I see in Richmond Park can't even ride a geared bike properly ( weaving around as the wind blows their carbon disc wheels off the road, front wheel twitching as they try and hold onto their aero bars) , to let them ride fixed would be sucidal.

Yep like I said

maybe there are too many dangerous idiots who don't know what they are doing.

The reason I wanted to have a go was because I reckon I would be pretty handy at both the cycling and the swimming legs. This time last year I was swimming a mile a day in my lunch hour in under half an hour as rehabilitation for my dislocated shoulder. Although not having run for about 7 years, I remember that I used to get terrible pains in my shins ( shin splints ? ) and hips afterwards. Still I reckon I am good for a straight 9-10 miles with no training providing I have good trainers or whatever.

I must get that road bike sorted
