For Sale: Planet X Carbon single speed

So it would need to be fixed rear wheel to be safe? Fair enough, I am not familiar with this kind of bike. Having said that, even if it was fixed, if you had to stop suddenly surely you would grab the brake as well as stop peddling? So the momentum would still take you over the bars? In my view having a front brake and a free rear wheel must be a lot safer than a free front and fixed rear bike (i.e. no brakes) that I see a lot of on here.

Live and learn!

Im new to the forum and fixed gear riding, but I have to say its not as deadly as that, but riding in london traffic its not far off, as a newbie to fixed and single gear cycling, I have had to start off free wheel till im fit enough to handle fixed gear riding, still awesome experience none the less, having a front brake is best if riding fixie, as you can slow the rear wheel down with your legs, (without going over the handle bars), I cant wait to swap back to fixie
