no, definitely can't ride fixed gear. i did see that she was on a fixed gear and in one of these videos (maybe hers), the rider move her feet elsewhere temporarily then has to sync back up later. what a pain. i don't get it, but it's fun to see.
50+ is too fast for me, i'm sure. strava thinks i hit 34, but I think it was an error. I think I only hit 20+ down moderate hills usually and not really trying to go fast. I think I'd enjoy maybe 30 and that's probably it. those mountain bike downhill runs also look super fun, but mellow singletrack is as much as i can handle. the "gravel bike" is all i got and I will resist the n+1 temptations in favor of skateboards and an e-scooter and maybe e-bike (not counting it as n+1).
