And as I pulled onto mainstreet (at a speed of 62.45643km/h) you can imagine my fatigue having left my drafting buddy on the highway only to encounter the slight rise into town. <BR/><BR/>Dropping below 61.45665 km/h I dumped the chain to my not as big ring for a cadence of 90 revolutions per hour.<BR/><BR/>So yes, this time you got me, but without my shaved eyebrows and rubberized skin suit, you guys would be no match for me when I'm going downhill.

But alas, to be redundant, that was not in fact the point. The point was to reiterate Mr Lee's complex physical explanation for the feel of a fixed gear with a real world anecdote.SingletrackM1ndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213140649542131333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37010301.post-80380433276636682742008-05-07T09:00:00.000-06:002008-05-07T09:00:00.000-06:00it is always a race right? i don't care if you ar...it is always a race right? i don't care if you are on a cruiser...if you are in front of me i am going to work to pass you. it is just more satisfying when i do it fixed without any lycra on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37010301.post-12857063505831689762008-05-07T07:37:00.000-06:002008-05-07T07:37:00.000-06:00Dear Anonymous 2:I fear you're reading too much in...Dear Anonymous 2:<BR/>I fear you're reading too much into the piece that C-note wrote. Dropping someone on a (very nice) geared road bike while riding a fixed gear is fun. If you read the article linked you'd get the point of this piece. Believe me, it takes a lot more than just dropping a guy to get us all geeked up.<BR/><BR/>[snark]Oh yeah, we'd a been a force to contend with on the Five Boro.
