I've ridden fixed for about 1 minute 30 in my life, just got back from picking up various bike bits all day, one of the last being a fuji track. Picked it up in Camden and had to get back to Walthamstow, couldn't get the bus or tube and a train journey would take forever, fuck it I thought I'll ride home. The saddle was too low, the rear tyre was low, the pedals were shit, I had no brakes and I was carrying a shedload of stuff including some rims over my shoulder. But I made it home in one piece, how the fuck you ride brakeless downhill without shitting it I don't know.
