"Oh Shit" moments...

But anyway, the bike is probably going on ebay this week to be replaced by something with freewheel and brakes, my knees are not up to riding fixed to work and uni every day.
So hopefully I will have a few less "oh shit" moments!
Didn't mean to be rude Chak, my apologies.

None required on your behalf 'ol chap, apologies are all mine. We deserve "friendliest forum on the internet" badges!
I get you about freewheeling for sure. My knee clicks and standing up grunts are getting too loud, and the lycra appeal is getting stronger!
