Umm.. With a 12 tooth fixed wheel sprocket, I could follow the school bus in the displaced air return. I don't suppose the diesel smoke did my lungs much good but this was 1958 or thereabouts.

Yep. Slipstreaming tractors, lorries & buses was something I did often in my youth. They?re all too fast these days though!

Good link. Thanks.

It's not worth my wife getting an electric then.

In '58 maybe, not today. I know how some 58 trucks drive.

I'd have preferred a freewheel sprocket myself. I wouldn't fancy being on a fixie in that situation, if the bus had come to quick stop.

At the time, I had the largest available front ring. 12 tooth did not then come with a free wheel. Stopping was never an issue but frost on the road and the vehicle going too fast for my pedaling was dangerous:-(
