What do you do on a brakeless fixie down a hill? Use your legs as brakes... of all the people in the world, folks on this forum would know what its like (appart from the balance aspect, but once you've got that sorted its like a slow fixie)...

I know about brakeless riding, of course, but I imagined that the balancing aspect would be far more difficult downhill than you indicate.

Which is why I now ride fixed took, there is a certain cross over... except we don't play polo, we play unicycle hockey - google that if you're bored... the only training I did was a fixed evening ride of 40miles...

I've been round to unicycle hockey (not practised balancing or played, just spectated) in both Hackney and under the Westway, and I love it.
