“Before departing, I attached zip-ties around the rear wheel of my trusty fixedgear - one between each spoke, wrapping around the tire and rim. Just like chaining up. It worked great, even on the packed snow.”

EDIT & NOTE: If you have a back brake, you will have to remove it. Use 8 inch zip ties and make sure the head of the zip tie is on the inside of your tire. Take it for a test run. Its different, but you will notice it is more like riding a mountain bike minus the slowness, than an out of control road bike.
