Spotted...

And your first whip skid will be so thrilling you'll wonder why you never tried earlier.

^ from my observations of YAL terrorising innocent people in the streets, it is eminently possible to whipskid like a boss on ss.

FWIW I switched back to ss while I was at the Redbridge cycling centre the other week so I could boss it round the corners and after the initial "ugh, do not want" I came to really like it for some reason. I suppose I just <3 my bike regardless of its drivetrain behaviour.

I love you, bike, unconditionally. x

Hes the exception though. THink about it, there are guys who can trackstand a geared bike anywhere like a boss. Have you seen DoubleTap - hes the king. But its rare.

A whip skid on a fixed round a corner is a beautiful feeling.

Yellow fixed with black rims no brakes.followed you from Westminster to lambeth north. Inspired me to get off my bike at next lights and swap my wheel round........
Don't know how you guys do it, had to keep telling my self out loud to not stop pedalling. Both feet came off the pedals at E and C, rode home much slower trying to work out how to slow stand up on the pedals. Couldn't get used to starting off again if my right pedal was down low. Managed a skid at Camberwell green but more of a fluke than on purpose, and then brakes on all the way down Sunday avenue.

Got home and swapped the wheel straight back to ss

Riding fixed is a skill I just don't have but loving my ss
fuck it - just ride your bike and love it.

And it's super addictive. Single speed will never compare to fixed.

Except when you do Alps downhill.

Like you care

fuck it - just ride your bike and love it.

This. That is all.

Thank you! It looks a bit better with the front brake off I think. Not a boast post but was it you that took a photo? I'm sitting at work looking out the window at bike and someone just got a little snap happy

(please don't put me up on Ways Not To Lock Your Bike again)

No- wasn't me. Was with the non cyclist gf so had to pretend I hadn't noticed it...

Erik J and Viv at the tea hut in Epping Forrest,

Your Pinarello is so much brighter in the flesh, stunning!

it's all about the stealth spot with non-cyclist friends who don't want to hear another word about bikes

non-cyclist friends

That would be my mum only. And she cycles once a week.

Which might be as often as me, thinking about it...
