TM, antlers, edscoble, you nutters. I am now inspired to take my fixed more seriously as a proper mode of transport rather than for just hacking around london.
Two summers ago I was staying in the north highlands of scotland, I was touring on worn out easton EA90's, £500 lightweight racing wheels, which were hand me downs from the road bike. I got the time for my train wrong and had to do 100 miles in 6 hours carrying 40kg with two broken spokes. In the rain. Heard a third spoke go as I rolled into inverness, back wheel had about 20mm of play in it.
