It can, if you work on rotating your feet rather then mashing. But you can still mash with a fixed. ---

spinning is really important in mt. bike climbing, and touring as well as road biking, in other words its really helpful always if you are on a bike. ---

I road a fixie for a while , I didn’t like it . I can never under stand why so many people ride them in the city streets sooooooo dangerous . I knew a lot of people who got mangled on one . and one who even died. I’ve been in some tough spots in traffic on a bike , and a skid or a hop just isn’t gonna stop you in time . ---

I knew a lot of people who got mangled on one . and one who even died. I’ve been in some tough spots in traffic on a bike , and a skid or a hop just isn’t gonna stop you in time . that’s why if you ride them, ride with at the very least a front brake. Preferably both brakes. And it’s true that they’re excellent for rounding out your stroke, that’s the main reason I have one. A round stroke is essential for good riding of any type, be it road or mountain. [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/anyone-whos-into-cycling/53830.md?page=2)
