Anyone have experience with fixes/track bikes. Never thought I'd be in the market for one, but I left my fs mountain bike in Canada cause it was being wasted here in Shanghai and I'm looking for something fun, simple, light weight, with a good performance to cost ratio and low likelihood of being stolen for riding around the city. It's totally flat here, so no worries about hills or anything and I like the idea of added fitness through the change in pedalling style a fixie suggests. I've always been a bit put off by the culture that goes along with fixies, but I'm thinking a fixie could be just what I need right now.
Interested to know what others' experiences are of making a switch to a fixie.
