A little more discrete than Paula Radcliffe, but not much. An incentive not to be behind them, I suppose.
unclip one leg, leg over when the other reaches the top stroke, brakes on when loose foot hits floor and other foot at bottom of stroke. saves stretching over the top bar and saddle.
i found on mine that say youre coming to lights or something and have to stop ,stop before the line or something when ur crank arm is at the 1 -2 oclock pos and un clip with the other ,cos normally on frewheel u can coast up to the stop line
I use eggbeaters on my fixopholous fixed-gear fixie and they are a doddle to get into and out of.
Just as a ball lobbed into the air must be stationary for a split second at its maximum height, so a bicycle is beatifully still for a moment after you've stopped pedalling.
That gives you plenty of time to unclip and put a foot down.
All that sodding about with trackstands at traffic signals is for those who want to look cool.
I write this as someone who has never mastered the art of the trackstand, so you may detect a bias in my opinion.
A few folk in work ride fixed with eggbeaters. I dunno how they work but I'll see if I can get a demo. Are they easier with fixed than SPDs?
