lol. i think its just me but my brain is telling me that to survive i would keep my feet ON the pedals. just seems like the rational thing to do
On a fixie the pedals will just keep spinning though. Personally I'd think twice before trying to hang onto a car going 60km/h when on a fixie.lol. i think its just me but my brain is telling me that to survive i would keep my feet ON the pedals. just seems like the rational thing to do
For starters I always run a brake, secondly I only ever do it when I've got a nice open strech of road ahead of me so I can see if I need to get them back on with plenty of warning. As for getting them back on, try in next you're crusing along at like 10k an hour, it's really not that hard after a little bit of practice.how does this work??? I'd be scared to take my feet off, let alone put them behind me. you, my friend, have some very steely balls!
clearly you have never ridden a fixieooooooh. ok, you'd lost me there. but now im on the same page. still, id rather my feet infront of me....
Yeah have to agree there. Skitching sounds a bit risky to me.I prefer to "catch" a bus by drafting. You can then listen to the engine so you know what the driver is doing. But make sure you know the road for the pot holes and corners as you are "flying blind" so to speak.
Saw a roadie drafting a truck through the race course road/flemington road lights at about 7am today.I prefer to "catch" a bus by drafting.

clearly you are very correct. but if i dont want to do it on a normal bike. there is no way in hell i'd try it on a fixieclearly you have never ridden a fixie
i feel like a total spaz for asking this but what is the difference between skitching and drafting? i'm pretty new to the whole "grab a random car and hold on" stuff.I could count the number of times I have skitched on one hand. It was more opportunistic than premeditated. Even then it was sub 30ks only. The first time I tried it was on a big f-off crane actually so it was very slow/smooth.
A Fixed gear would be safer I think as it would stop you from being towed faster than you could pedal, and you would have far more of a feel for what the bike was doing.
