How can you skid / How to do skids / skidding

that's why you cannot be fucked to slow down, understandably so cause it is a bitch to slow down at that gear ratios (50-17).

put a 21t cog, and you'll be surprised by how much easier everything has become, first couple weeks will be spinny but best to spin really, easier to slow down than high gearing while spinning despite going at lighting speed.

I used to ride 50-19 but found it too spinny. I live in Cambridge, most likely one of the most perfect cities for riding fixed as far as ease of riding. It's absolutely flat across most of the city and the road traffic is used to dealing with roads saturated with cyclists. I can still slow down with my feet, just not when I'm going flat out.

I've got a flat right now so I left my bike behind over Christmas whilst visiting my parents. I thought spending some time on this message board would ease the withdrawl but fuck I miss my bike.
