Hi
I've just scored myself a track bike and wondered if anyone has any tips for learning to ride it?
It doesn't have brakes so I think road riding with it is out of the question (for now ).
My club (Blackburn) has a velodrome but I'm not sure about the conditions of use - I've still got to ask about that.
So, any other places that are good for practicing in/on?
Anything I should work on right away before getting onto the track? Trackstands are way harder on the fixie compared to my other bikes.. I hope this situation will improve quickly though.
What tips would you give to a newbie like myself?
Thanks!
