Ted,

Thanks again for sharing some of the vintage biking language of the past with us younger listees.

Speaking of the divide in pedal styles between freewheel and fixed - did you (or anyone on the list for that matter) race during the brief period in the late 1950's when the ABLA allowed BOTH fixed and freewheel bikes during road events ? I've always wondered what THAT must have been like - especially cornering in the criteriums !
