[QUOTE=Senrab62;21990107]Modulating speed by skidding and gearing is when I have pain. Otherwise, it's no different than riding a geared bike for me. It's why I never understood huge ratios and no brakes.[/QUOTE
Kind of a bummer feeling pain while modulating speed and stopping with your legs, if I couldn't slow down without using brakes I don't think I would ride a fixed gear.
