My mate who is an experienced cyclist,although he's only been riding fixed gear a couple
of months needs to see the error of his ways,He rides a pompino on fairly low g.i.(65")
as he has a hilly commute,to avoid taking his work boots he rides on flat pedals with no
foot retention,on the downhills he just takes his feet off the pedals (He's got front and back brakes)at speeds of up to 40mph,He's getting a bit uppity about being told not to
ride fixed like this,But i can only see this ending horribly for him sooner or later.
If anyone can suggest a way of making him see the error of his ways I would be eternally grateful,Praps a link to some other individual who tried this and came a cropper would help
