I hoped this would get me hyped for a fixed gear… it didn’t 🥲

and you can put a wide ziptie on the stays for an obnoxious sound.

Fixies are awesome, until you get a 7km 1:20 hill, and you have a backpack, and a 60 km/h headwind... When I'm commuting, give me gears, or give me a bus ticket!

There was a meme on reddit about fixed gear rider getting brain damage from bombing down a 15% grade with no brakes and i think it perfectly sums up fixed gear culture. Just wear a helmet, aero clothing and use gears like a normal person.

I have a car but I still chose to cycle. It's just more fun lol

might aswell buy a car

I'm Dutch so basically they put me on a bike right after I came out of the womb. But this does make me want to dust off my fastest bike :) Also, FYI, a Dutch article argued that bikes are faster than cars. The reasoning is this: A) If you bike for a minute you'll live a minute longer because of the cardiovascular exercise. This means that biking takes no time (on the timescale of your entire life) B) If you go by car you are faster short term, but you have to work to pay for that car and gas etc. meaning those minutes you save take hours to afford. If you add these things up then cars are pretty slow. With bicycles basically being free in comparison, A+B means that bikes allow you to timetravel.

Single speed is superior!

I became a fixie hipster when instagram first came out in 2010 it was kind of like flickr for your phone, I remember my first picture i ever posted was of my bike. and you know I had to put the filter on it so it looks like a brown and white picture today I am still a fixie hipster, just with a longer beard and I no longer use instagram I am way too hipster for that. I use a gameboy camera

the simplicity is cool but I live in hilly area and need the gears

Fixies are also great for snowy winters. There are no gears or brakes, so there isn't much to clean or worry about. If you can afford it, then you build a 650b wheelset to fit beefier tyres, or buy something like skream ranger that accommodates thicker tyres out of the box. This is my 6th winter riding a track bike and it feels very liberating.

no way cap n jazz at the end

now combine both hobby and buy an 80s land cruiser to haul your affinity track bike yes i tend to make a bad financial decision

1:10 heeey I'm on the half that stayed ! :cheers:

I've a fixie, an R6 and a Silvia. Glad I'm not the only weirdo :D

I did this a few years ago and love that bike, but the novelty wore off and now I own a GR Yaris…

hi just read the title and came to leave a hate comment, i also live in one of the bicycle capitals of the world and do bicycle but i just LOVE hating

The things people will do to avoid motorcycles

the 16 year old south asian is so real bro

Cool vid, in my area the big thing now are electric bikes or scooters that they mod like crazy

Can't wait till this guy buys a motorbike, literally in the middle between cars and bicycle's

If you have bikes, buy abother one.

фиксеры захватят МИР!!

Nice video. I agree with your point for the most part, but I think you mischaracterized car guys. I’m not one, but it seems like they care about status, aesthetics and “cool engine noise” more than what you described in modifications, community and transportation needs.

I've been riding fixed gear since the "era" Spend tons of money modding it. Hell yeah!

hell yeah

Another advantage over a car hobby: you can put the bike in your living room and admire the esthetics like its a painting on your wall. You can't do that with a car generally speaking.

nice video - fixie culture looks super cool for sure even if I am comitted to gears for now.

Bring fixed gear back in 2025! I got to get another one.

God, the algorithm knows me so well.

Cap’n jazz 😍

Road bikes are for pussys

The Yoshi's Island OST bangs

just wait till he figures out they can go on the roof of your cool car for the wombo combo

I ride for commute, but even short trips make me feel great. It's the closest to flying i can get.

my knees are already fucked from road cycling, i dont need a fixie again

RC cars are closer

PREMIUM RUSH!

I talk myself out of a 2nd track bike daily LOL

I subbed because we have the same name lol

Iam a commutervand i use 7 speed

Thought my tv finally died at 1 minute lol

Holy shit, the MASH SF footage was a throwback

getting into fixed gear and bmx riding was the best decision i ever made. i love swapping out parts on my bikes, going fast, and jumping off shit

I love mountain biking and hitting jumps and all that, but there's just something special about taking a total beater I found at the dump and using random parts I've been hoarding for years to get it riding good so I can take it for a rip around town. I have a whole fleet of beater bikes for when friends come visit too.

It is the third greatest hobby if you like cars the first is motorcycles

whats the appeal of fixed gear as opposed to multiple gears? weight? simplicity?

Holy shit no way he is back this is the best RUclipsr of all time

I could literally go to a market and when I pass by the sports section, I can stand there for 30 mins just watching at bike parts. Upgrading parts is fun and not so expensive all the time and you can give your bike personality by putting some stickers or vinyls. I can see the same connection as for the cars, totally agreed.

Fun fact the early days of the tour de France were ridden fixed or single speed and then later gears were available for riders over 40yo until they finally came to their senses in the mid 1930s
