Getting My Fixed Gear FixWhat doesn't kill you makes you stronger or so I've heard.
Lately I've been on a fixed gear tangent. I barely want to ride my geared bikes.
Something about the simplicity of not having a shifting option, the purity of never coasting, and having to use the thighs to decelerate (althoughI do have a brake, I try not to overuse it) is just freeing.
I've been testing my strength and leg speed by climbing and descending some bigger hills such as Hwy 1 up to Pantoll and I rode the Alpine Dam Loop last Saturday. It was a blast!! 60 miles of fun. Can't wait to do it again. I guess this girl needs another fix :)

I was thinking about another bike -- maybe a fixed gear...
60 miles including Alpine Dam on a fixie? Dang, I'm getting outta your way next season, Nancy! I think you're officially back in the game.
