  Thanks dude! Yea am sure it will take some getting used to

  Nice job! Keep going and you'll be a skinny hipster in no time!

  Saddles take some getting used to. Find a guide online and play with how your bike is set up, which will probably help. Also as you lose weight I bet you'll see a difference. Last resort, change the saddle - maybe it just doesn't suit your arse!

  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!

  Hello all, newbie here!

  Like stabbington, my previous bike was made of lead and 'suspension' and I was fed up of it, I'm moving to West London in September for studies, so thought a single speed would be a good for exercise and do eventually want to build my own!
