Hi.
I've talked to a few(mainly older riders) re building up and training on a fixie. Most who'd done it/do it now recommended it to build leg strength(can't change down up hills) and spin(can't change up down hills).
The idea of having a minimalist bike appeals to me too(gear freak).
But would it really help?
My knees aren't the best - wouldn't it kill them both ways - up & down hills too?
Would my wife say "Not another bike you're trying to justify Paul?!(she always uses my name when she's not happy with me )
Thoughts go underneath folk
