I've got a geared Roadrat, currently doing great work commuting and taking kids a couple of miles along the canal to nursery, using a Hamax smiley which gets left with the kids before I shoot off.
I'm thinking of going fixed again, but wondering if this is daft because of not being able to ride out of the saddle when the bike seat is occupied? Anyone done this? And if you have, what kind of brake setup did you ride? (before anyone calls the social services, I would use at least one on the front!)
