Fantastic. I’m going fixed - and also try to do my bit dismantling the patriarchy and the industrial military complex... Inspired!

Fixie?! Whoa, you are all kinds of crazy, Tim! Nadya/PR f'ed up the Indiana Statehouse scene a little bit the other day! Ride on!

I rode fixed for years before it was “profitable or popular “. Bit hillier where I live now. The old school club cyclists in the UK used to ride fixed in the winter (less maintenance, more souplesse). They’re all dead now of course 😳

Nadya is now based/living in L.A. I'm sure her PR shows will be around these parts for a while. Long live a.s.s.-ers, I guess! Cheers, Ali

Big ups to those who ride single speed. Also, big ups to identifying the problem with toxic masculinity within our sport.

My lesson learned on the 1-gear ... simply figure out what works for you. Start slow and easy. Yes, knees can be a challenge! lol. Cheers, Phil, and thanks for the encouragement and support on some toxic[ity] in mountain biking.
