Hi all, only just joined the forum. I've had an OTP Langster for about a month now (ride to work scheme, sweet) and I'm curious about setting it up fixed... but my only issue is this- I commute from Blackheath to London Bridge daily (piece of cake) and I want to know what the deal is with riding downhill (specifically, the one in Greenwich Park) fixed. Is it just a mad blur of spinning legs? Or do you just have to take it slower? Total noob question, I know, but I've never even touched let alone ridden a fixie.
