It is a man, thank you. And yeah, I have both owned and ridden with fixed gear riders. They are a hazard. As a generality, they are NOT well suited to urban riding, where braking is equally as important as coasting and handling. Also, the VAST MAJORITY of cyclists or bike riders are NOT capable of SAFELY handling a fixed gear bike. In racing, they are forbidden in almost all instances where they are not the rule, and in practical reality, they are a nuisance. I'm not a naysayer or an old man or someone who never rode fixed. I'm reformed, and I know that going down the road fast has nothing to do with how many gears you choose to have or not have.
