quick release on back tires??

Not sure what size your nuts are (*snicker*), but Surly makes a bottle opener w/a 15mm hex wrench on one end. I keep one in my SS/Fixed bike's saddle bag since it doesn't have QR skewers. It costs significantly more than getting a normal wrench, but the shape is actually awesome- very compact, but you can still get a lot of torque if you need it.

Well that was news to me too, but I read this in a few places and some YouTube biking expert that seemed to be more knowledgable than a blowhard, said that this is the case since bikes carry most of their weight in the back and are therefore more susceptible to flats.

Oh yes, you are much more likely to have flats in the rear. That's true. But I've never had a flat on the front. You would think I'd have hit a nail or something by now!
