They both ride a lot....stupid distances, but because the places they go to have such varied and harsh terrain they also have to hike, climb, and raft a lot too....Eric has brakes on his singlespeed but his buddy is riding fixed so has no brakes as most of the riding is at a slower pace so less need for a front brake.
The reason there's no pedals in certain pics is because there are certain sections with a lot of hiking, carrying, pushing....so if you're pushing your bike for an hour then it makes sense to remove the pedals to stop them smacking your legs...especially on the fixed bike as in the picture above.
