    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.

            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

                    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.
