NorthCoast 500 on a Fixie
I was just wondering if anyone has or knows of anyone who has cycled the North Coast 500 on a fixie? I know there are people who have done lands end to John o' groats so can't imagine it being any harder than that?
thanks

Scottland? It looks like a beautiful route.
I've no idea about what it is like to ride but gearing would be my concern, not whether the bike is fixed or freewheeled.

It's not about the inches, it's how you use them.
