Unfortunately, recently I was a little 'back: because of very user-friendly connection I can not follow all the good news on blogs and forums. In addition a number of pressing commitments compel me to give up the fond events of this period: (
There is a silver lining, though: a lot lately are on the road, and from a certain point of view, it led me to reassess many things on the bike fixed gear.
First has changed dramatically the way I ride. In the city did not move, balanced by a greater number of miles inland to high slip, often very busy.
Now, in the small town I find myself to be riding almost continuously throughout the day, mainly on short distances or even short. In Udine, in fact, the bicycle is the ideal: the speed / ease of navigation is great because the whole city is crossed from end to end in 15 minutes.
short, it is still a size such that the car is an unnecessary waste on all fronts, while walking on the media and was still significantly slower.
I also noticed that the bicycle is still half fairly widespread, which means many interesting things, first, the city is well equipped for this kind of acogliere users of the road several bike paths, and in the absence of these, wide sidewalks with a dedicated lane to two wheels, a service Bike rental, excellent road safety education.
This last point is what I'd like to focus: on the one hand it is true that traffic is not remotely comparable to the metropolis, it is also true that drivers seem to me much more careful about what happens on the road, leaving very often room for maneuver on dirt bikes.
also bike paths are really cycling: no obstacles, only a bike, and above all excellent education. I think this is due to a very specific reason: there are many immigrants, most of which run in a bike (I think even for a matter of cost). Almost all have done or are doing the Italian one (just enter in a driving school in order to understand the proportions) and are therefore fresh rules on the proper movement. The way they use the bicycle lanes is enough driving force, and this is confirmed by the testimony of some of my family who admitted that he had noticed not ride the bike properly in the city by observing its circular.
In any case my use of the sets is increasingly consolidating two different types of outputs: the use of everyday experience, is completely separate from the speed (cycling rate is also enjoying the city and its nuances) about half brakeless convenient, handy and standards far more people (position and seat adapted pretty, as well as wide tires to ride safely on the cobblestone town center), and dedicated outputs to go fast wide-ranging outside the city.
Well, I'm gradually losing the way hybrid, always seeking the most extreme (which is simple convenience or efficiency) of the two poles.
All this under the light of a renewed interest in the concept of fixed, almost a desire to rediscover the sense that both had appealed to me at the beginning: now more than ever I'm enjoying the ride brakeless and half stripped of any frills .
Everything is focused on cycling, but is no longer an end in itself, but from time to time find a way.
It happens every now and then having to run errands in ways diametrically opposed, then I try, I look forward to the flow in each movement, I like to get on to live those few minutes of rest: zero braking, it is blasphemy to avoid Skidd for decoration, the lights do not pierce, the strict observance of rights of way and the speed is not a number, but a measure in absolute terms, each ride is extremely smooth, continuous and uninterrupted, the ride is unique and form a trail that draws the path inside the city. It seems almost a kind of dance, fencing ritual aimed purely aesthetic appeal to challenge with genteel other means. It was a long
time since I enjoyed the way down, perhaps because at some point I had made up his mind that mine was a daily struggle to get me off into chaos, faster and with more anger as possible.
But now I play with the bike, I try in every km of the beautiful. And when I go down I can just have found in everything around me, because I realize to be something unique with the way I walk and the places through. And when I stop
not tie it either.
