Fixie Bikes

[coffee]

You really don't want to be riding a fixed wheel for general use,you'll soon be pissed off trying to get up long inclines etc.there's a reason experienced cyclists use gears,ok they may be lighter and less complex but they're basically track bikes for ovals and if you start using these on the roads you'll get buckling wheels, frame fractures,etc,etc,they're built for a purpose.Just get a half decent touring bike,your mate will advise you.
