Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

That could hurt a bit while skidding, falling, etc.

Get dual pivot brakes, I got a couple second hand for just ten bucks. They make a big difference to the braking I believe.
