Hi, no doubt this will cause some controversy but anyways...I used to ride fixed with 700 wheels and 23mm tyres for many years but I recently switched to a nodder twat hybrid at the start of the year. However, after a couple of months I took a corner too slowly because of the fat fucking stupid tyres and fell off - landing on my head and breaking my brain. Looking back, I can't help but feel that it wouldn't have happened had I been riding my fixie. Now that I'm recuperating, I'm fearful about getting back on the dayglo nodder twat bike. Whatever anyone says, they're X% less fast than a bike with bigger wheels and thinner tyres.
