The potential danger of riding a fixed gear bike?
I am new to cycling. I am just wondering, if a person is going downhill with a fixed gear bike, how does he slow down?
what if he hit a bump while going down hill? what would happen?
Some fixed gear bikes come with a Front Brake only. Some come with no brakes. You are the brakes. By slowing your rate of pedaling down to nothing – you stop the bike. Pedal forward – the bike goes forward. Pedal backwards – the bike goes backwards. Thus “fixed gear”.
You have to ask yourself this question… “If I’m going 20 – 25 mph, how quick can I stop in an emergency situation?”
Bumps in the road? Should be no different than any other type of road bike. It’ll be rough because there are no suspension parts. But more of the rider’s energy is transmitted to the rear wheel this way. The more suspension parts a bike has, the more energy it takes to ride it. Suspension parts eat up or soak up energy.
