Hello. I'm here, yellow fixed. Keep an eye out for me. Also on a Giant SCR4.Go out in Sherwood CC kit, very hard to miss.
Guy on a bown Langster lives over in Lowdham, goes into th centre alot. Not spoke to him, just seen him as i've been riding.Another guy, not seen him for a while, on an old yellow fixed, name is also Joe, from America. Theres another guy on a Langster i think, dunno if its fixed or singlespeed, see him sometimes.
Hilly, no, its not bad. But the hills are normally short-ish and steep. I run 65GI and not had a hill i cant go up, yet. Bit hard down them sometimes, but still learning how to just let my legs spin fast. 65GI was also the gear most of the people that used to run fixed in club ran, or somewhere around the 65GI mark. Could go slightly bigger if you wanted. Wouldnt say much bigger though.
Over by the uni its flat, you can pretty much run by the side of the river for miles, and not go over a hill.
If your up for joining a local bike club and doing club rides, have a look at Sherwood, would be good to have someone else out on fixed sometimes.
