never pedal struck riding fixed, but i'm another one who had a moment at Eastway - few laps into the race, first corner after the start/finish - was right on the inside, in the bunch, pedaled through the corner, caught a pedal strike and the back wheel jumped off the road, i nearly bit a chunk out of the saddle and from the gasps and "oh, shits!" from the guys behind me - so did they. As it happened I didn't hit the deck and take them all with me, but fook know how.
