First Fixed Ride

I was just marvelling that everybody was being helpful and friendly and actually giving good advice without being a bunch of cunts

Same here! I thought it was going to be a proper flamefest!

My top tips for riding fixed are:

• realising/remembering that you sorta CAN coast, just relax and let the momentum move your legs
  
• It's still a bike. You can ride a bike right? It's just a bike that you need to keep pedalling on, and surely that the most obvious/natural thing in the world on a bicycle, right?
  
  

Whenever I get on a polo bike it takes me ages to remember I don't need to keep pedalling and stop being shocked that the bike is still moving when I'm not pedalling!
