One of the strongest fixed gear riders in our group is a woman and she's usually leading the pack!
Funny, I just went to a tougher gear in the rear 'cause I was spinning out too much on anything remotely flat. I know, I know, with ss you're always in the "wrong gear"
Fixed is something I have never even tried.
