@expurgatetor It might take you a few minutes to get used to riding fixed gear if you haven't before, it can be a little unnerving, but it wont take long, especially if you do a lot of off road and are therefore likely to be a fairly fit guy. Its great fun, give it a go!

@expurgatetor I tried it for the first time this weekend. They do an induction lesson + 1 hour riding for £6 (they throw in a bike too). It's big fun, after you do a few laps you forget about the steep banking. It's more regimented than it looks on that video too, you get pretty good coaching from the staff. After 2 hours my legs were pretty ruined, but I haven't done much cycling before. I say go for it before the season ends.

I'm looking at getting into track cycling, I ride off road a lot and I know its much different. But how hard and scary s it for a first timer? lol
