• Is fixed bad for your knees if you dont skid / ride high gear?

  I am thinking of trying fixed but have had cartilage surgery on both knees. Is this wise?

  If yes then obviously low gearing is the way to go. Say 48/20?

  Possibly with help from the new SA 3 speed ~ 30/20 in the bottom gear. Does any one have an opinion on this kit?

  I agree - v amused but feeling guilty at the same time. Having survived 3 small patches of ice this winter (geared bike travelling in a straight line) I was told yesterday that fixies are better on ice. Is that true and why?
