I know there's a few other fixed/ss riders about Dundee, but not many..

Any of you made your way onto here?

I lived there for 5 years. I live in London now, hence joining London FGSS.com :p

Can't even imagine what it must be like riding around Dundee without gears. Your legs must weigh the same as my entire body!

They're big to be sure, but I ride a pretty spinny 42:17, seems a good compromise for my commute tho.

We do have a velodrome, but I've never quite made it up there yet :)

Oh, up by the Kingsway? Nicely, had no idea they even had one - the Kingsway was far too north for me for me to know anything much about, heh. Whereabouts do you live? I used to stay about three quarters of the way up the Law which perhaps coloured my perception of the terrain of the area somewhat.

No, it really is that hilly haha! I'm near Arbroath road, so downhill into town, uphill on the way back.

It's almost like Dundee is bowl shaped, most routes out of the city center seem to be up some kind of hill!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
