That said, I just converted one of my bikes to a fixie and I really like riding it. But it is more difficult than riding a geared bike. With a fixie, it's harder to stop, even with a front brake. And the lack of gears may make it difficult for a new road rider to ride, especially if you live in a hilly area. And the potential for pedal strike makes it a little more dangerous than a geared bike.
