Fixed Gear Climbs Suck, but the Descents are Definitely Worth It2yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Spent the past week visiting the Netherlands. Brought my bike along with me and I thoroughly enjoyed riding here. Didn’t see as many fixed riders as I had hoped for, but I definitely have never witnessed so many people commuting on bikes! So awesome. 🇳🇱3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Made the switch to #clipless & I have ZERO intentions of ever going back!4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
40% chance of rain, but didn’t get any water on me other than my own sweat all over my cockpit.2yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle

After riding brakeless for the past year and some change, going back to having a front brake has been a complete game changer for me.3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Right foot unclipped on me while going downhill last weekend, with traffic. Didn’t end so well for me, but my bike is still good! 😅4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
The 🌧 did not let up today. So I stayed inside and played with some vinyl scraps I had laying around.4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Threw my pedal+ strap combo back on today for a little family ride (since I wanted to stay in my Shamma sandals). Great reminder on why I went clipless...4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Applying a small, clear/transparent decal on the seat tube goes a long way! Hardly noticeable from a distance.2yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
I commute to/from work daily (12km round-trip) on a fixed geared bike. The one on the left is brakeless + used during dry weather conditions. The one on the right has a front brake + used during wet weather conditions.3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/bikecommuting
I know there’s quite a few of you in here... why not go with risers or bullhorns instead?3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
The stories are true: 49/16 is indeed the best all-around gear ratio3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Anyone else using a frame bag? I prefer the easy access it offers while riding, unlike a saddle bag.3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Anyone else swap out handlebars during the workweek? I rarely get down in the drops while wearing a backpack...4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Midway point for the Festive 500. How is everyone doing? I’m doing it for the second time, all on a fixed gear bike.2yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/bicycling
Brakeless riding pro-tip: if you happen to un-clip and are unable to find your pedal quick enough to clip back in, sacrifice your shoe and use it as a brake against the rear tire in order to save yourself in an emergency situation. 🍻3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
To all of the naysayers from my previous post, this ones for you. 🍻4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
I’ve noticed that many of you tend to believe that wrapping drops from top-to-bottom is the incorrect way of doing things; however, I’ve been doing so for as long as I can remember and have never had any issues.2yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
First time trying out this tire and I’m loving it. RiBMo - Ride Bicycle More!3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Let a friend borrow my bike stand, so I had to improvise with what I had for the time being.2yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
After seeing that Omniums come with a 48T chainring and already knowing what a 48/17 feels like (after having an FSA 48T chainring in my collection), I figured I would give this crankset a try to see what 49/17 is all about...4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
I erroneously ordered the wrong stem... Went ahead and threw it on anyways & it actually feels quite nice! 🤓4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Just moved to a huge city, wanting to invest in a navigation-equipped bike computer. Any suggestions?3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Lesson learned when switching from clipless to straps: you must lower your seat post to compensate!3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
How to resolve the brakes vs brakeless debate? Have one of each. 😚3yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
Lowered my seat post a couple CM yesterday... what an incredible difference it made! Slowly but surely making adjustments/changes as I go. Only things left “stock” are the frame, carbon fork, and drops.4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/fixedgear
Going to attempt to remove these decals underneath the clear coat tomorrow with a heat gun, wish me luck! #thatoneretrospec4yr ⋅ melvinrdrgz ⋅ r/FixedGearBicycle
