Fixed Gear Riding

Commutted on the fixed today. 3:1 gear ratio is really hard to stay on top of, but it is great fun to sprint over hills with it. Working on my strength and power so I thought I'd push that thing around today. Good idea, but it was one of those things that I sure didn't feel used to at all. The bike is so light though it feels like a toy. Still, the gear made for a nice lopey ride when I wasn't burning it up.
