Slimey, eh? That is a new insult I've not experienced before. Pity you can't heed your own advice.

Have you ridden a fixed-gear tour? Have you ridden fixed at all?

At least I can make sound and decent comments on the subject rather than posting material that isn't relevant... like you.

B.Carfree, I hope I don't get to the place where you are. I appreciate many forms of cycling, and love doing it, and experiencing what each brings. For me, the "perpetual motion" of fixed gear is part of its beauty.

But getting back to the OP (and as antokelly seems to have lost sight of, that is the context of my comments), I am advocating he can do a fixed tour in the regions he plans without issues, with the now additional provisos that he has sound knees and suitable gearing for the weight he is carrying.
