I put on a bigger chain ring. I was riding a 36/16 ratio and while it was good for cruzin if I am going to spin the pedals I want to good fast. The ratio is now 48/16 after the commute tomorrow I'll let you all know how it goes...fast I hope.
It was a wonderful ride into work this morning on the fixed commuter. Here it is gleaming in the morning sun a pace or two away from my work station. Today was the first time I have rode a fixed gear bike, more than around the block. I enjoyed the kinetic feedback from every little down hill slope. At the same time I know if I relax for just a moment while riding fixed the bike could gallop away from me in a hurry. I found myself rethinking the routes I commute considering the downhill distances and steepness. It is strange to ask myself, "Will I have enough power to pedal down this hill." If I could sum it up in a sentence it would be: To experience the efficiency of a bicycle ride it fixed.
