In The Hunt

The Hunt Crit

Sunday morning was spent driving up the M4 from our home town of Bristol to Hillingdon for The Hunt, London’s first fixed gear crit race. The weather was pretty gloomy, but the atmosphere was buzzing, with a mixture of nerves & excitement from most riders in attendance. Like us, many people had never ridden a crit race & most of us didn’t have a clue what to expect.

Go and see The Hunt Crit at Hillingdon this Sunday!

Fixed gear is now a recognised part of mainstream cycling, just as it was way back in the ‘40s and ’50s. However, for a long time it was firmly out of favour with the exception of a few hardcore riders who remembered the benefits of riding fixed through the winter. Among those riders was a guy by the name of Will Meister.

Folding bikes are always a compromise between the folded package and the ride characteristics. It's not a straight line correlation but the basic rule is that the bigger-wheeled bikes are easier to get on with on the road, but not as easy to hoik onto a train. They don't get bigger wheeled than the Montague: this is a full sized 700c bike, so don't expect it to fit in your glove box.
