Both are going to put pressure on your knees that they are not used to if you're new to riding fixed.

I have loads of great knee jokes...

... it's the way I patella 'em!

Oh shame, the rest of my rolling stock is made in France, I was hoping for 103 rated scariness.

There's a knee pain thread if you search for it.

I've had knee trouble for years and found that riding fixed caused me discomfort. I think even if you try not to resist the pedals too much you'll end up doing it anyway. If cycling with a freewheel causes you no problems then it may be that your knees aren't used to different strains and pressures being put on them by fixed cycling. Knees aren't very tolerant and doing anything your knees aren't used to can cause discomfort until they get used to it.

If you have no history of knee problems just take it easy, if you have a history of knee problems take it VERY easy and see how you go, icing your knees after riding may help, if it gives you real problems it may be worth getting looked at.

Cycling in a ball gown and 19thC bloomers?

Would that be side saddle?

Try holding your penis in a vice and turning the frame.

That's one for the "find me some cycling quotes" thread.

Might be interested in the ghost train. How scary is it on a scale of 1-10?

My fixie gets a free pizza every night that we work together, I have the worlds only Dominos Pizza messenger bag.

My bike is the keymaster,

are you the gatekeeper?

Delivery moped ice hockey using a frozen pizza as a puck and spiked tyres like ice speedway. Hell yeah!

I've had the same set of blue plastic Park levers for years now, they seem to do the job just fine.

I pointed it out in the 5th post ;-)

Try blackle.com , same search engine as google but on a black screen to save energy, if everyone used black screens instead of white on google then we'd save something million watt hours apparently.

awesome

Balki, I would but it seems there is an unexpected item in the bagging area.

31t®um do you mean Cowley in Oxford?

Everybody loves the sunshine.

I'm down!

Seriously though, Roleur magazine may have something useful.

Man that sucks, hope you get them back. I also hope the toerags fall off the next 5th floor balcony they try to steal from!One word of warning though. Now somebody knows what bikes you have there and how to get onto your balcony, they'll also expect you to have 2 new replacement bikes soon. This happened to me when my mountain bike got stolen, a week after getting it back the scumbags returned and it was stolen again :(

Arrrgh, my works websense blocks the images on this forum so i can't see these designs people are talking about.

Great idea, providing my knee is in a fit state I'd be up for this.

I hope the dog turns on them one day and leaves them hideoously disfigured (although i presume they were ugly anyway).

Random attacks suck, when I was younger I made the mistake of not wearing cheap tracksuits and baseball caps, this apparently gives the local pondlife good enough reason to spit at you/throw things etc.
