Why ride a fixed-gear bike? I experienced this on my fixie just a few weeks ago: pedaling (on flat, level terrain thankfully) at a pretty high cadence, going quite fast, and thunk chain snapped completely off the bike. There was a curve coming up and if I'd not had a front brake to hit I'd have caromed right into a Dutch countryside canal (or "stopped" by falling off the bike). So yeah, if you ride fixed, have a front brake. Seriously. |

What do you wish someone had told you before your first commute? While I'm happy to take credit for a great quote, that was actually Dennis Wurster (bicycles.stackexchange.com/users/178/dennis-wurster) who said that below, not me. |

Rear dropout adjustment screws on fixed-gear conversion How often is that going to be an issue? Chains don't stretch out that quickly. |

Rear dropout adjustment screws on fixed-gear conversion Hm, I actually hadn't thought of using them as an alignment guide that way. Getting the wheel set properly and then adjusting the screws in place so that I can just fit the wheel in against them the next time is probably a better idea than removing them completely. Thanks! |

How to get a bike from one city to another in the U.S Good point, I shipped a fixed-gear so that wasn't a concern, and as a result forgot to include that part. I've edit my answer and added that in. Thanks! |

How to carry a concealed firearm on a bike? Not a situation that applies to me at all, but this is a very interesting question! |

Can mountain biking shoes be used with road bikes? What are the pros and cons? This. For commuting and such, there's no need for dedicated road shoes. |
