In which I only ride me 65” gear (40t x 17t) and find it perfect for this terrain. Lots of posting and honking, with a wee bit of coffee and pipe. Grin. Now, if only we’d get so much snow that I can’t ride these trails till May!

Patrick, Your photos and narration are sources of great pleasure for me. Could you say a few words about how you set up and capture those lovely pictures of you riding? I've been trying to figure it out and am stumped. Thanks,
- Carl

Thanks, Carl. Gorillapod with an iPhone.

With abandon,
Patrick

Patrick, thank you for sharing your continuing evolution riding fixed gear. I find your observations to be interesting, helpful and inspiring. The accompanying photos are very well done and a real pleasure to peruse.

Just enjoying your narration and pictures after 3 days/40 hours at work. Very relaxing and vicariously rewarding. Looks tropical from the last few weeks' weather here.

Beautiful post Patrick, inspires me to dive ever deeper into the essence of how I experience cycling. Thank you!

Patrick, big or small gorillapod? I've broken enough smalls to never look back after my big gorillapod purchase this last summer. Not that it's huge, but it seems like it's going to last versus the fiddlyness of the smalls.

I have no idea, Kai. Mine is well over five years old. It is iPhone specific in size, so I’d presume the small?

With abandon,
Patrick
