I'm on day 3 of riding fixed. I was an extremely confident rider on a geared bike and it's been a humbling experience going fixed, ie I've almost crashed and shat (not necessarily in that order) several times, particularly when attempting to coast over bumps n that. Today it felt more natural - relying less on the brakes, more on my legs - but I'm still finding getting in and out of the clips and straps a pain. Also I have had a slight motion sensation after riding - my whole body going side-to-side - like what you get after being a boat for a few days. Anyone else had this?!
