humancongereel and onetwentyeight please re-read my post...thoroughly.

I never said that fixies are "dangerous". I said that "In the hands (and feet) of the average rider, fixed-gear bikes are not as safe as freewheeled bikes."

It was a simple comparison. Don't infer, extrapolate, assume, converse, convert, or postulate anything else from that. If you misunderstood what you read...read it again, rinse, and repeat.

Volvos are safer than Hundais. That doesn't mean that Hundais are dangerous. It means that....Volvos are safer than Hundais.

There is no f'ing way you or anybody else is gonna convice me that a fixie is just a as safe as any freewheel in the hands of the average rider.
