re: If you can only have one – make it a good one! (or how to select “the right” fixed gear ratio) by Gary Meinhardt

Great article Gary! I wished I would have had this info. a long time ago. I've been riding a fixed gear for several years. 42X16 or 70.88 inches. I just recently switched to a 17 or 66.71 inches.. Way Better for group rides and just seems to fit my goals for riding fixed better. Right now it feels like "the perfect gear" Thanks, Terry

re: A New Year for Catching Waves (why I am a fixed gear addict), by Gary Meinhardt

My waves resonate with your waves, dude. Less mystical, but true nonetheless, is the training efficiency of the fixed gear mode. An hour of riding fixed is said to be like an hour and a half or two hours of riding geared. Low speed climbs are like leg presses / squats in the gym, only more cycling-specific; free spinning descents are incomparable form-building and cadence-lifting drills. So, boogie on, Gary.

By the way, what does Zen-like mean?

Doug, I recommend you cease using FRS immediately! Anything that robs a retiree of his/her afternoon nap is a criminal offense!

"mountain bikers had considerably higher bone density than the sample road cyclists."

Sweet! :)

You can tell in that photo that I have really high bone density as I cruise by Burns. ;)
