My wife thinks so.

The point of rubrsol's question?

I live in a remote community where I see another fixed gear rider about once every two years.
Some of the aspects of fixed gear riding that seem obvious and normal to metropolitan riders remain new and undiscovered by me.

Speaking of fixed gear riders, I actually saw only the second fixed gear rider I have ever seen, other than myself, today.
He rode a white traditional steel track bike with no front brake, and he carried a pair of snow skis over his shoulder; one hand on his bars and the other on his skis.
He rode very quickly and fluidly.
A very interesting picture.
