I bought my first ever fixed gear yesterday in Derby, and today rode it for the first time!
I started a diet a month n half ago, and so far gone from 17st 5lbs to 16stone, so I'm getting there but no way near fit enough for some of the rides I see you guys riding. I did 8KM and it killed me!
I kept forgetting not to coast, each time it nearly broke my knee caps haha but I will get there eventually.
Isit normal for the seats to be flipping uncomfortable, or do I need to buy a bigger one!
It's a good starter bike from research I did, and has a 'flip flop' hub so I can spin it round to single speed if I require!
