My normal ride in this morning standard leaving time of 8.10 – where were all the single speeds and fixed gears? Through Walthamstow (none expected here really), Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington and Dalston, Angel, Gray’s Inn Road – 2, maybe 3 single speeds only. My only conclusion must be all this freezing weather and hard summer rain was simply too much for you this morning. Roads mostly clear. Few fluors on Bromptons looking tough and that was about it.
This must be why we see pretty bikes in the classifieds that say ‘never ridden in the wet’. Or generally. Your bikes are not bikes - just an affectation of your LDN lifestyle
I’m not saying it’s you LFGSSpeeders who weren’t out riding this morning (I reckon a fair share were) but to fixed gear London in general: you’re made of origami. Your hearts pump Kool-Aid
