i remember my first fixed ride too, to the pub of course. the constant pedal action nearly threw me straight out the saddle, i remember flying along with one leg strapped in, one waving in the air, bouncing up and down like a right twat. haha! after i got used to the resistance thing i was having a blast, getting in touch with my speed through my legs, cruising and learning the skids etc, fucking awesome. never had trouble cornering, its really just one of them adult things (you can imagine pain too clearly in your mature years, kinda puts you off stuff). go for it fixed riding is the most fun you can have not laid down. :D
