Gary's crazy fixed gear mtn bike

That pretty much sums it up. We rode at Patapsco today and Gary rode his surly as a fixed gear with no brakes. This is the second time I’ve seen him ride fixed cross country, the first was at the 24 hours of Seven Springs and Nick convinced him to use a front brake. All in all it was a good ride, weird weather, started out with a little sleet / snow but the sun came out for a bit which warmed things up and Gary didn’t die.

    Fixed off road. Yeah lots of my friends are doing it too. But no front brake? Hard to wrap my head around. Most of the ones I know use the front.

    personally, i prefer ye ole stick in the spokes to slow down. my new titanium triple butted stick does a hell of a job.
