A few years back a bunch of San Fran couriers turned up in London on fixed wheel, they`d cycled most of the way across Europe, they ended up staying in a squat where friends of mine lived. I don`t know why tf you would choose fixed wheel in Frisco being all hilly and that, but it`s all good.

I`ve cycled fixed wheel , back pedal brake, hub gears, derailleur. Derailleur wins hands down but you get special manly points for trying to keep up with derailleur down hills with fixed gears. Good for wheelies as well cos you don`t have to use the brake for control.

Props SSD cycling is part of the solution to today`s ills, more power to your legs.
