So i basically rode his bike a good amount of time and found fixed gear riding to be quite fun. So i show my dad and he says ok, but then he talks to his friend who has been riding since he has been a kid and this is what his friend says "he will kill himself on a fixie, it's to dangerous to use." Now my dad says no. So my question is, is his claim real or is it not? Thnx.
P.S i always ride with a brake, helmet, and always follow the rules of the road.
If you use your senses and use that brake, helmet and obey the rules of the road, fixed is perfectly safe.
