  1. Holy smokes! I rode the last six weeks exclusively fixed gear, flopped
    my wheel to the f/w thinking I might as well even out the wear and get
    my money's worth and AIIIIEEEEE! How creepy feeling. I felt like I had
    an inner ear condition or had drunk half a bottle of mezcal! LOL I've
    had a fixie in the stable before, just not abstained from freewheeling
    for so long. LOL

    That dang freewheel is coming off, before it KILLS me. :-P

    I know the feeling. About a week after getting my first fixie I
    switched back to a freewheeling bike for a trip to work and actually
    stopped and got off of the bike 3 or 4 times to make sure that nothing
    was wrong with it. Test rode a singlespeed the other day and it just
    seemed so wrong that the pedals would stop turning.
