Fixed Wheel Good

In the thirty years of cycling I have always found myself shying away from the fixed gear bike. To much like hard work I would convince myself.

Then last year I came across a Steve Goff Prodigy for sale in Scotland. Thank you for the Internet. It was the right price, right size and the right time in my life. After some consultation with my partner I bought it.

I made a few changes to the bike once it got to me, the first being to change the chainset and more recently a new chain, 16 tooth sprocket and bar tape.

Now some six months later where is the hard work I had feared. These bikes really are a buzz to ride. After the initial fixie moments, stopping peddling then realising you have to pedal, not being able to get foot out of pedal at traffic lights etc, I was and still am truly hooked.

Sorry if this has begun to sound like some sort of tekkie cycling site. It was never meant to be this way, honestly.

Take care
