  1. New bike arrived today! Woo!

    It's a rigid singlespeed[1] & I had been intending to sell on
    the wheelset and other not-enough-gears-or-suspension parts and tranfer
    forks and other componentry from the current favourite bike.

    Having gone for a quick rigid singlespeed blast just to see what
    it's like and found the ride stretching out to two hours from an
    intended 45 mins I've decided 1) that my spin's rubbish 2) it's great
    fun, even more so than my inability to spin fast enough on the flat
    bits!

    I've an enormous urge to gush but there are still 2 1/2 hours of
    decent light and I'm off to do some more miles (just to check the
    setup😉 before it gets dark. Come on food, settle! Maybe after a few
    more rides my thumbs will learn that there's no point in twitching to
    change gear....

    [1] On-One Inbred, if anybody's interested in what the bike is.

    Congratulations! Isn't it great when you feel what this SS thing is all
    about?
    I got my wife an Inbred for our 10th anniversary last year and she loves
    it. I ride a Surly 1x1 and it's great too. I put a shock on mine because
    the rigid fork was too jarring for my bad shoulder.

    Ride on!
