    I love that you tell us viewers to stop watching and go out and ride. When I’m being super lazy it really gets me motivated to get my ass off the couch! Zach, you have really pushed me to do a lot more than I used to. I switched to fixed because of you and I’ve pedaled my 300 pound ass a few hundred miles in the past few months all thanks to your motivation.

    I'm legitimately getting jealous of those Singaporian fixed gear communities and people ovet there after watching this video.
    It's so unfortunate that Fixed gear communities over here in Korea aren't that enthusiastic, pure nor honest(In my opinion) as how they like over Singapore, Malaysia or even in Japan.
    But nevertheless, I hope you have plan to visit Korea as well in the future, Zach!

    Was a little apprehensive when buying this with the few negative reviews on here, but this was exactly the kind of bike I was looking for. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxn_jUDSlprMIeubd9rHdEAnv59nKfjcKv I plan to ride it on paved roadways and trails, and wanted a "Grocery Getter" so to speak. After receiving it (without any damage), I had it out of the box, and fully assembled in about 30 minutes. I did not have to look at the manual, and I'm glad because I did look at it after I got it together, and it looks like it's a manual for several different styles. I did have to adjust the breaks and gear shifters, but that's been my experience with every bike I've owned. There was one review in particular that made me nervous, saying it was not meant for someone 6'4", it was too short. Well I'm 6'5" (230lbs) with a 36" inseam, and can tell you this bike fits perfectly, granted the seat is in it's highest safe position. I've only had it for 3 days so far, and if things change I will update my review, but I put 26 miles on it so far, and it rides like a dream. Very comfortable seating position. The front suspension is good for the occasional rock or bump you hit on asphalt, but this bike is not made to be taken off road, and I'm OK with that. I was particularly happy to see the wheels were trued perfectly. I was expecting to have to take them in and have them trued at a local bike shop, as I've had to do with all my past bike purchases, but in this case they were already in great shape. For the money, this is an awesome bike.

    Disadvantages of fixed gear riding in a country with a lot of slopes
    Crashing into kids every half an hour or so
    Crashing into motorbikes
    Almost crashing into a pile of garbage
    Not being able to walk normally for a week
    Steep slopes too heavy too climb
    Lesson of the day (That all happened in a day)
    Get brakes, have a better gear ratio, don't be too brave
