I'm about to start commuting fixed, having been using my road bike for the 16 mile (Central London) round trip for the last 18 months or so. The times of day I commute tend to be less busy (6-6:30am, variable but not early in the evening), so I don't have half the issues with traffic / nodders that a lot of people seem to.
Any advice from other forumengers would be appreciated though, particularly on handling traffic, or how others have found it necessary to adjust riding style when moving to fixed.
