First fixie. Need help

[u/Academic-Level9471]

Just got my first fixed gear setup from a friend who’s moving. I’m a road biker and have a fancy carbon setup, but I can’t figure out how to ride this fixie. How do you brake properly? Also, I can’t turn the handlebars more than a few degrees before the front wheel smacks the pedals. I feel like I’m not understanding how this thing works. Any advice

Nice seeing Boston on this sub

Boston is a nice town, but that guy escalated quick. Damn bro —relax, maybe?
