It is very True! I started riding a fixie about 2 months ago, and everyone just thinks I am going to die. However, they dont realize that you can slow down the bike with just leg power rather than having to rely on brakes. It is quite fun to ride not having to worry about a lot of parts. But, I have kept my brakes on, for emergencies.
