Hey there, the only fixie I ride is a unicycle. I've ridden single speeds but they aren't minimalistic enough for my tastes, so I wanna go with a fixed hub. No biggy, there's a lot of info out there, but I was wondering how many people use toe clips. I've also read here and there that fixie riders are punks? If that's the case, it's cool that I stumbled onto this forum cause I tend to either get driven out of other forums or just plain fed up with all the cliques and petty little leaders that are everywhere. Being a punk is a good thing.

Toe clips, clipless pedals, platform pedals who cares? Ride what you like and enjoy it when someone looks down their nose at you. It is often fun to go agianst the grain.

I like having clipless, or at least toe clips, because I find it easier to stop the bike. But even with clipless, don't be one of those fools who takes both brakes off . . .

I tried fg a bit and wasn't my cup of tea. And I know for a dead-sure fact that unicycle would be my undoing.
