Okay, I'm usually what I would term a 'lazy peddaller', I tend to hit a hard gear and grind it out rather than spin up. However, having a go at a singlespeed thing and it obvious I need to be spinning better.

So how can I convert myself? Any training tips etc?

Thanks

Ride the singlespeed!? You don't really have much choice then! Put a silly small gear on it too, otherwise you'll still be mashing away on the climbs.

Does it really matter though?

Yeah, I did wonder if it's a case of just ride it. I suppose I'll get used to it and better at it.

It does matter as the others are leaving me behind lol

Fixed! Nah, tried it years ago, was a good laugh at the time. But I like to jump a lot so no thanks...
