I find riding fixed my arse and shoulders suffer way more than anything else when compared to riding gears. This is probably because it’s tricker to stand and relieve pressure when fixed and you tend to pull on the bars a lot harder when climbing.
This years PBP was the longest fixed gear ride I’ve done and, in all honestly, I don’t think I would want to ride much further without gears.
