Turned it to my estate in suburbia and like i always do when riding geared took my hands off (stupid i know, but there's no one about) and stopped pedalling, it's a slight downhill and i see it as my little reward. Forgot i was riding fixed however, cue me being kicked over the handlebars trying to grab hold of something - "oh shit", nothing was there. Went down and got some nice road rash and some ripped jeans... never gonna take my hands of the bars again
