    My singlespeed is having its forks serviced so am forced to use my geared fs bike for the time being. When I take it out I find I'm fishing for the right gear and mushing through stuff and cheating rather than actually riding it.
    Is it just me? Or have I just been riding the ss too much?

    I've been running my SS for about three weeks now, and am new to the game. I find it provides a balance to my riding. I do a two-hour ride on the SS and feel I'm benefiting from the workout I'm getting, then I jump on the FS and feel more confident than ever on the downhills, as it feels that bit more capable than the bike I last rode.

    I'm loving the fact that with my flat/SPD pedals on the SS, I can bomb down to the shops on it, nip into town or go off on a two-hour ride (which is the fitness-equivalent of a three-hour FS ride), when I haven't got the time for a longer ride.

    Do both SS and FS – thoroughly recommended.

    I'm much more aggressive on the climbs on the ss, it just feels wrong to sit and spin up long climbs on a gearie now. My oingly boingly bike gets used for long days in the mountains but for anything else* ss all the way!!

    * except racing/events where i use a slinky hardtail, but that doesn't count as riding, it's just masochism in lycra 🙂

    No running, in fact no anything this weekend – hyper extended my knee while out running on Tues! Entered a Triathlon next year so was trying to get some training done, guess my legs are built for biking not running.
