Are you just about ready for the audax Richard?
N+1+1+1+1... yet again Decided I wanted a fixed wheel to try, I've flipped the wheel on the single speed a couple of times to fixed but only for a short duration so never really got the hang of riding fixed. Then I saw this track bike come up for sale and decided to bite the bullet, it's taken me a week to sort it out and today was my first ride on it. Completely different to riding fixed gear at the velodrome and not something I would recommend you try out on the open roads before getting lots of car park practise. Only one (front) brake required on fixed gear bikes

When I was a kid (maybe 12 or 13?) I did almost exactly that, riding home from school. I had a nice lightweight bike so would have been going really quite fast, unlike that guy.
My football boots were hanging from my handlebar and I went round a corner and straightened up. They swung into my front wheel behind the fork.  I went straight over the top and landed on my chin; still got a scar there to this day and a chipped front tooth to match. As "luck" would have it I was right outside the local district nurse's house and she was just coming out. So she scraped me up and took me home - less than half a mile away. I'm sure modern elfunsayftee would prohibit such activity but I just learned a lesson. No-one said anything, nor did they need to!

7:00am, about as late as I can leave it before deciding. Just checked the forecast and the wind is now showing gusts up to 40mph at one point, so I'm out. Gutted as I was really looking forward to this
