The Christening, i.e. first singlespeed ride
I rode my singlespeed for the first time today. What a strange and fun sensation for someone used to geared bikes. I've been riding a fixed for commuting for about a year now (#881 on www.fixedgeargallery.com), so I guess it was only a matter of time till I went offroad with one gear. Of course, it took getting my geared MTB being stolen to commit.
The short story from the ride is that it was quite fun. I wrote a rather long version of the experience on my website. Link to brainfuzz.net. Click on "Green Mountain Mud."
Here's an image of my pedal after I returned home:
