Manchester is superb for riding on a fixie for many reasons. A lot of people don’t drive so the roads are quiet compared to what I am used to. They are flat – in fact very flat. So much so when you get a fixie roll on going, you barely squeeze a bead of sweat out making it an ideal commuting choice. Last weekend KC and I explored Chorlton Green on the bikes, so it was my first off-road experience on the fixie. It faired well, though the 23mm tyres in wet mud would be as good as useless. Just as well it was dry as a bone on this day.
