I think that starting FG riding after 50 saved us from taking too many risks of younger, say wild 20’s, he he.
Oddly enough cycling is a
pedaling sport. "Back when" getting new club cyclists on fixed gears early in their careers for winter base miles was considered crucial in developing
Supplesse, the supple smooth pedaling style that had both spin
and grunt on demand. Part of the reason that I still ride FG on the road is to retain what I can of that pedaling technique. A fixed gear bike is a relentless feedback device that provides instant negative/positive feedback for slagging-off, L/R imbalance and generally poor pedaling technique.
