One of my favorite fixed-gear bikes is my 1916 Mead Ranger. This was originally built as a coaster-brake bike with 28-inch single-tube tires on wood rims. It was wheelless when I bought it at a flea market, so I set it up with some nice quality '70s vintage 630 mm (27") wheels and modern tires. It's surprisingly pleasant to ride.

A fixed-gear mountain bike may be the ultimate in heavy-duty urban transport, and, if you are adventurous enough, you can even take it to the woods. Mountain bikes tend to have adequate ground clearance, although most, alas, have vertical dropouts.
Das Ultimum für den Schwerlasttransport in städtischer Umgebung sind Fixed Gear [[Mountainbike]]s. Wenn man abenteuerlustig genug ist, fährt man damit auch ins Gelände. Mountainbikes haben normalerweise genügend Bodenfreiheit, jedoch werden sie inzwischen alle mit vertikalen Ausfallenden ausgeliefert.

cb3 I have an old Bridgestone CB-3 set up for nasty winter conditions, with a 28/15. This gives a nice low gear, a 3.63 gain ratio (49" / 3.88 m) which will take me as fast as I care to go when the streets are snowy. A fixed gear this low makes the brake almost unnecessary: such a low gear lets me slow the bike down quickly by resisting, especially considering that it can't go very fast.
