Ima a happy fixie owner and fun of rush delivery movie, so fuck MTB and all the terrain or downhill shit, I'm into city biking.

I like riding my buddy's fixed gear bike, but I'm happier with a freewheel and brakes. I saw a dude on a single speed bike with a freewheel and NO BRAKES. What a fucking shithead.

Well, if it's a fixie it should be no breaks.
But, safe choice would be having a front break at least.

I've had a fixie before, the novelty wore off quickly

There is no point to having a fixie unless one is poor and or a hipster. You can always leave a good bike in 1 gear. Trek makes a lot of bikes that are made for cities & trails at the same time.

It was a single speed with a freewheel!

City riding is awesome, but you are just handicapping yourself riding a fixie. You pretty much lose versus geared/breaks at lights and up and downhills

It's def for flat towns.

They are everywhere in Barcelona. But give me gears and a fat front brake any day.

This right here, even if your city is flat, there is no fucking benefit other than trying to be cool.

I have a single speed bike, front and rear brakes. I ride all over the area, so it's not to be able to coast down some of the big hills I hit from time to time.

My buddy has a fixie I like to ride on occasion, not something I would want to ride every day.
