I forgot about blogging since all I have been doing nowadays is reading blogs.. Christmas is just around the corner; however, not really feeling any of the holiday spirit. Work is such a drain on life with barely any reward for the amount of labor put in to each day. Being underpaid and overworked seems to define the characteristics of a secure job very well..
I’ve started to get back into bikes after learning about fixed gear riding and its benefits. Simplicity, light-weight, and “oneness” with the bike; only a couple of the many things on my list that drew me in to riding one. I don’t think I could ever go back to a geared bike after riding fixed. Such an awesome feeling to be literally connected to the bike and feel a direct tranfer in power from your legs to the pavement.
If you’re in a search for a fun way to get fit and know the basics in riding a bicycle, I highly recommend you read up and research fixed gears. It’s not for everyone, but it’s worth a shot to have another friend to ride along with.
