I’ve taken my bike to pieces in preparation for a good powder coating, and so found my self quickly putting my old road bike together and cycling to work on that this morning….
It’s damn amazing how quickly something which was once second nature becomes almost alien… All that free wheeling, and not being able to slow down using the peddles… it feels quite out of control… and I never had clips on my road bike, so having my feet totally unattached was horrible! The peddles aren’t track pedals either so I just felt like I was walking around on a slippery deck or something. (bit of a weird analogy that..)
Anyone else gone back for any reason or after a bit of time and found it odd?
Need to make some alterations I think… and borrow a fixie from someone!!
