Fixed gear cyclist!!!
Options
Do you hate them?! Do you love them?! Do you fancy their bikes? Do you think their bikes are gross? Tell me what you *truly* think when you see a fixie rider! What makes a good fixed gear cyclist vs a "fixie" culture cyclist. Are you one?

Wwwwwhat? So you're saying fixed gear is less skill intensive somehow? lol0 -
No trials or courses. Just some trails here in the state let you throw it off the ground a bit. There's a new park but I haven't tried it yet.
Neat! I want to try a proper MTB one day.
I took my fixed on a gravel trail. It's a vintage Peugeot conversion with drops. That was a really really bad idea but it was also really fun0 -
If I lived somewhere flatter I would have had one a long time ago. Too many hills here though for anything more than riding around with my kids. One of my mtb is a SS... not quite the same, obviously, but it's pretty awesome. Just can't justify the cost for a SS/fixie road bike right now.0

Fixed gear bikes are over!!!
OK, I ride a yeti in the mountains, thought about converting my old 26 to a single speed, but that's my limit0 -
what is the point of a fixie?
less moving parts so less chance of breaking down?0 -
I hope my legs get swole0

I loled. That was hilarious XD. I convinced everyone I know to ride SS for some reason or another.Rage_Phish wrote: »what is the point of a fixie?

Yup that's one point. A point for me is just variety is the spice of life. I like being able to control my speed with my legs and make small speed adjustments at every moment with my legs. I also like the feeling of the ride, and it's just more fun to me and more challenging. I use front and back brakes too tho I'm not a dumbie who rides brakeless in the city0 -
^ haha okkkkk I want to see your PS1 and Uzzi! You should post pics now.0
