Stacked it

oww well that hurt... I guess i won't be riding for a week or so.. time to review what went wrong.

From what i recall.. I was pedaling along.. putting the hammer down.. got tired.. forgot i was on a fixed gear..

then somersaulting through the air looking up at the sky wondering whats about to run over me...

A.) a bus
B.) a truck
c.) a taxi

it was C...luckly instead of running me over, gave me a lift back to my house, which was lucky cos i didn't fancy the 8 miles considering I couldn't even walk.

I need some helpful tips and hints to help me remember when im on a fixed gear I have to keep pedaling... whats the secret?

my #1 tip: remember to keep pedalling.

hope you're not too badly hurt.

dont drink so much.

you allright?

ride every day, you get so used to it that a freewheel feels alien

ELvis gave me the best advice ever, which is just keep repeating the words

"keep peddling"

I do ride every day..

then I ride my mountain bike at the weekend and forget all over again.

isn't the crash enough to remind you?

I reckon you should sell your bike, this fixie thing's just not for you.

I went down to the pavement the second day after go fixed, pedal strike, I was still with the huge MTB pedals and took the turn like in a freewheel bike.

my advice don't stop riding, don't quiet.

I hope you are OK now.

So that you can afford new pedals?

Like driving, walking, eating with a knife and fork, doing teh sex, it'll become second nature.

Put Some Tape on your forhead saying im riding fixed remind me now and again

I remember my first ever class in school, we drew a big red 'R' on our right hand, and a big green 'L' on our left hand, to remind us which way is left and which way is right.

Perhaps you could draw a big black 'P' on each knee, to remind you to Pedal Pedal Pedal Pedal Pedal...

I'm going to go against the grain here, and suggest you spend some time deliberating trying not to pedal whilst riding.

Left hand pedal threads are reverse psychology.

oh christ ! ...... lucky u got away with it and your still alive.
scary stuff
i know what you mean with the fixed malarkey it's scary when you forget.
what happened to you was my fear when i started riding fixed also about a month ago.

hope you get well soon matey..

oh shit tommy looks like being a member of warlocks hammer is bad luck, rob gets broken ribs a week before the tournie .... i stack on the way to the tournie and now you stack ( when by the way ? ) maybe we could lie in bed together and cuddle each other better !! where are you injured ? i think i'm off the bike for a week or so too !

How can you forget to pedal?
You are reminded in an instant and all you have to do is let your legs go.. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..

+1

and how does momentarily stopping pedalling make you do a somersault-style crash.
There's more to this than meets the eye, methinks.

as above. just sit and put all your weight on the saddle and let your legs go. + keep riding, you'll get used to it.

I don't think this is Tommy (the brick).
