Fixed gear - 12:01
With a fixed gear, I choose how fast or slow I go by just pedalling. Riding can be sweet and completely silent. When I'm going well I'm always spinning. I am in touch, connected to the bike; I am a part of it. I pedal faster to go faster; I pedal slower to go slower. My brake is there just in case, maybe just to govern the speed on long downhills. I only have to use it in case. When I head downhill, as I spin faster and faster, I'm right on the edge of losing control, but never do.
