I tend to forget that I'm riding a fixed gear probably every other ride on it, but thankfully it's never a catastrophic mistake.

One brake lever, brake housing and my handlebar got some road rash. I got some on one hand, shoulder, elbow and knee. Looks like I got a shave and a light laceration from a rotor, that pales in comparison to the gash that I'm guessing came from the end of the front axle.

Yep.
But I have good news. Do it OAB repeat style and you're looking at fewer than 750 iterations (just using round numbers)

I'm not a good guesser of distances/height.
I did several repeats starting 10.6 miles here, but Strava gives varying elevation readings for the same point.

Yeah this is the first one that debiked me. I've had two others that seriously disrupted my line, one that yanked my foot out of a toeclip.
One brake lever, brake housing and my handlebar got some road rash. I got some on one hand, shoulder, elbow and knee. Looks like I got a shave and a light laceration from a rotor, that pales in comparison to the gash that I'm guessing came from the end of the front axle.

But it didn't work - people didn't want another social network site. If I wanted Facebook, I would have signed up for it. Really people just wanted to keep track of their workouts, but the venture capital people aren't interested in that because it doesn't lead to the explosive growth that they need in order to cash out.

I gave up Strava long ago. I was doing RideWithGPS for awhile after that. A far superior platform. I don't even use a computer anymore. Platform pedals. Athletic shoes. Shorts with pockets. Etc. Fred
