What better way to spend your time than maxxxing before relaxxxing? And what better way to maxxx than on 70s, 80s & 90s steel framed racers and fixies? and if you've been busy maxxxing out doing something else, why not take a gentle ride to relaxxx?

Prioritise adventure and fun! I'd been riding fixed gear for about 10 years and geared bikes a lot longer. When COVID put London into lockdown, riding just became so much better. I began to mix a ride with any other interest: photography, history of the city, graffiti or just enjoying the green spaces. The feeling of adventure coupled with covering ground quickly was unbeatable. Having empty streets really amplified the joy.

Although we are no longer in lockdown, there are ways to reconnect and make the city your own: Find routes and times that work for you. Early mornings, Sunday nights bank holidays, weekday evenings are all much quieter in metropolitian areas. Canal footpaths and parks are great ways to avoid traffic. I like to see how far I can go before using the brakes. That might not work for everone :|
