Indeedy. Hey fixie guys... what the heck do you do in the event you are coming up on a car on the right (i know i know ) at about 40 klicks and the bugger really does surprise you with a right turn.

I can't for the life of me imagine being able to skid that out. I had a full on panic front wheel stop yesterday, that while terrifying, went well with me going from just jumping on the pedals to sprint to full stop in an instant. Leanin' back with the back wheel way up in the air, one foot off the pedal and forward for balance, it wasn't winning any style points that's for sure . I should been in a better position, darned old folks surprised me, coulda sworn they were going to go straight. I think i would have splattered the back/side of the car if I'd been riding fixed. Hat's off to you guys rockin the fixed wheel in traffic.
