I rode Metal Steve's fixed gear just the once; it was very scary and hard. Scarier than normal because he doesn't have brakes on that bike. However, it made me even more inspired to learn, someday, to ride a fixed gear and have it be my primary bicycle. I would be in such better riding shape, so quickly. No more slacking!

Oh and trackstanding. Yes, that would be fun too.
