scenario: 10 miles to destination.
bike choice: bmx or brakeless fixed with spinny gear and risers
obvious choice for comfort and speed: brakeless fixed with spinny gear and risers
There is no contest. 60 mile rides without brakes could be bit of bitch, but not half as much as doing 60 miles on a bmx.
Not sure what the tricks guys are running, I run 66GI and it's mint around town and on longer rides. Blue Quinn runs 60GI on one of his bikes with no complaints. Neither of us are tricksters.
