You just have to be <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">fully</span> aware of your entire surroundings; who and what are going where and at what speed. It astounds me the number of people who rely on their hearing to cross the road. Often, if they don't hear a vehicle, they just don't bother to look! You have to plan your route second by second and totally re-calculate your capacity to stop. This involves constantly planning alternate routes - if the car indicating doesn't turn or the person crossing the road changes their mind, or if the car approaching speeds up at the last minute. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">And well....it was a HOOT!

While taking it for a spin, it occurred to me that it would be an interesting option to have a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">fixed wheel</span> bike - with a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">clutch</span>. It could be a lever (like a brake lever) or even a set up on a gear lever like the old 3 speeds with a neutral.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Why? Well for a start, you could corner much faster. (If you've not ridden a fixy before, you have to watch the pedals hitting the ground when you corner). Riding over significant bumps on a fixy is also an acquired talent, being able to drop the drive out and coast now and again would help. Another thing: after stopping, you could align your pedals for take-off. </span><div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial;">I know that for fixy purists it's an ethos thing -'commit'.</span><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div></div></div></div>sixtyonesixtyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16323520115053740326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331975410340511657.post-31321515328585039882009-03-08T08:07:00.004+09:002009-03-17T20:50:02.327+09:00Drive conversion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_E0cVWeLfxvM/SbL-0vWue0I/AAAAAAAAARQ/Yckmb7mZsFA/s1600-h/IMG_2254.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_E0cVWeLfxvM/SbL-0vWue0I/AAAAAAAAARQ/Yckmb7mZsFA/s400/IMG_2254.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310587092641676098" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial;">It's not a fixy. Was lucky enough to pick up a pair of used Shimano wheels for bugger all. The rear is a standard road wheel with a cassette hub. I bought a $39 single speed conversion for it, reluctantly, but it looks pretty cool. </span>sixtyonesixtyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16323520115053740326noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331975410340511657.post-79726115501729768402009-03-08T08:01:00.003+09:002009-03-08T08:52:49.763+09:00Nic's Steele Bishop<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E0cVWeLfxvM/SbL-DraFoNI/AAAAAAAAARI/-Mnqe70R6yo/s1600-h/IMG_2246.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E0cVWeLfxvM/SbL-DraFoNI/AAAAAAAAARI/-Mnqe70R6yo/s400/IMG_2246.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310586249768444114" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">So here's Nic's treddly.
