Fixed Gear On Rough Roads?
I'm going camping with family and I'm taking my fixed gear bike. I don't expect the roads to be that bad but I just want to be careful anyways.
Is there a threat of wheels or a frame cracking? What should I watch out for?
Advice riding on roads like this?
Thanks

Just like with any road bike on an off-road surface, you'll have to deal with the narrow tires slipping and the uneven terrain.
What problem will taking your bike solve?
Advice? Use a mountain or cyclocross bike.
