after fighting the pedals to keep it under 30 coming down from some hills that killed me coming up, this is exactly what i did.

i suggest you do the same.


you could just get brakes and run a low gear that gets you up hills... but then you'll be going super slowly everywhere, and that's not fun either.
fixed gear is awesome but if you are riding brakeless and have any sense you realize it's just a fad, i'm pretty much retiring my track bike to track and flat street duty.
