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's true, but lean angle as a HUGE influence. At any speed faster than about 10 mph, you're leaning pretty far over, so the wheel deflection is not enough to contact your toes.
