Manche Fixed Gear Fahrer fahren auf der Straße ohne [[Bremse]]n. Das ist eine dumme Idee. [[Sheldon Brown]] (und auch [[bikegeissel]]) weiß das aus eigener Anschauung. Wenn man das macht und auch nur eine Spur Selbsterhaltungstrieb besitzt, fährt man langsamer als man es anderenfalls machen würde, jedesmal an einer Kreuzung oder wenn man eine Straße überquert. Der Baderf an konstanter zurätzlicher Aufmerksamkeit nimmt ein großes Stück des Spaßes am Fahrradfahren.


Some fixed-gear riders ride on the road without brakes. This is a bad idea. I know, I've tried it. If you do it, and have any sense of self-preservation at all, it will cause you to go much slower than you otherwise could, every time you go through an intersection, or pass a driveway. The need for constant extra vigilance takes a great deal of the fun out of cycling.
Man sollte wirklich mindestens eine Vorderradbremse montieren. Eine Vorderradbremse alleine ist in der Lage ein Fahrrad so schnell wie möglich anzuhalten. Das ist klar, weil eine mit voller Kraft angezogene Vorderradbremse dafür sorgt, dass das Hinterrad durch die Entlastung keine [[Traktion]] mehr hat.


You really should have a front brake. A front brake, all by itself, will stop a bicycle as fast as it is possible to stop. This is true because when you are applying the front brake to the maximum, there is no weight on the rear wheel, so it has no traction.


One of the wonderful things about fixed-gear riding is that the direct feel you get for rear-wheel traction teaches you exactly how hard you can apply the front brake without quite lifting the rear wheel off of the ground.

A cyclist who has learned both ways can ride a fixed-gear bicycle backwards, switching between a right-side track stand and a left-side track stand. The great Major Taylor once won a match sprint race in this way, by backpedaling a half turn to get behind the other racer for the final sprint to the finish. Following this, the tactic was banned, though track stands are still permitted in match sprints.
