Fatty,

Take Midol. This should take care of it. Oh, and make sure your string
isn’t showing…

Well… in order not to forget I simply touch each part of my body (in the cleanest manner!) from top to bottom and say the name of the thingie that goes there:helmet, shades, shirt, camelback (when offroad), food (favorite part) n drinks, tights,cellphone, socks, shoes. The bike itself usually is not forgotten.If I go seriouse offraod then I have protective gear that fits in the right timing while performing the aforementioned act…

What I learned about Fixies yesterday:

It does take getting used to, and the last habit that has to be unlearned is to not pedal at an unexpected event–I have only 50 miles on my fixed gear and I was smugly thinking that I was used to it. I was out of the saddle on a gentle climb going over 15MPH when I hit a bump and some road sand left over from the winter. In that split second I resorted to instinct and habit and made the big mistake:

I stopped pedaling.

Since I was already standing my considerable weight was moved over the handlebar in a half turn of the pedal. I don’t remember much of the fall except that it hurt like hell on my left hip and butt (thankfully mostly butt). Interestingly my entire groin area is extremely sore and preventing me from walking normally (think Penguin). Not sure how or why this is, but I feel very lucky and I have all the more respect for racers who crash and continue, and especially for FC’s sister. THis was the worst fall that I have had to date and Lord willing, the worst that I will have. I still love my fixie too!!

Did you ever wind up doing any track races? I remember you said the races weren’t held on a convenient day or something. What about cyclocross? Weren’t you going to do some cyclocross races last fall?

I’m a roadie for life. In fact, I used to be a triathlete. Reading his previous post about triathletes was a good laugh. Keep up the cycling humor, I enjoy it very much.
