Gettin’ the Skinny on Fixies

I've noticed two really cool posts on raceAthlete.com lately. The first is about Duane, a guy who's lost a ton of weight and is well on his way to being a competitive triathlete. You have to check out the posting and see where this guy is coming from. What a story! (Very inspiring video)

The next posting is one that gets me right in my little fixie heart. This blogger found a 1973 steel bike and is turning it into a fixie winter trainer. Not only that, but he's planning on riding it in the winter in Wisconsin. I've heard rumors that fixies ride better on snow and ice because you have more control over the rear wheel, but I'm just a simple Texan and we don't have those problems here.

RaceAthlete.com is not just a sponsor, it's a really cool collection of tri-related entertainment that is fun to check out. Updated often, there's always something interesting to see, hear, or read there. Enjoy!
