Scary.... Dark.... Hard to stop.... Smooooooooth
The ride downtown on the somewhat sketchy bike trail is incredibly soothing.
Definitely more fun on the paved sections than the gravel (I think that is the first time I've ever said that) .
Going home I think I will need to take the ipod off and enjoy the sounds of the night with the quiet of the fixie in the background.
I rode from the house down to poor richard's coffee shop. I never realized the joy of riding down a bike path by yourself in the middle of the night. No cars rushing past. No technical drop around the next corner (I hope) No people, or hardly any, to pop out in front of me.
A fixie id great for thinking. The bike and I were wrestling each other for control, but at the same time supremely enjoying each others presence.
Oh yeah!! I named my fixie Samoa. So I think I will have to call her Sam for short. She is getting ridden again and taken care for the first time in a many years. Sam is smooth, light and somewhat scary since I am not totally in control of her.
A chill goes through me everytime I get on her. I am not sure if it's from pleasure, fear or both...
