Fixed or single speed

Errr...........motorcyclists, f1, touring car racers etc all apply the throttle when they are cornering as it aids their traction. That is the basis behind my thought processs for this discussion. That is what left foot braking came about so both brake and throttle can be applied through a corner.

I was wondering if the small contact patch of a bike tyre makes this technique valid on a fixed wheel....along with all the others that have been offered up to the discussion.

Theres a good episode of top gear where Jackie Stewart coaches the really slow presenter in a rear wheel drive car. Interestingly he also trains some current F1 drivers. I assure you they don't accelerate for traction.

left foot braking is generally used by rally drivers who are of course often on different terrain. I've been lucky enough to try it myself (Red letter days). you may thinking of the "drifting" that the older cars used to do. They don't do that anymore because of technology and the fact its slower.
