- In this video I’m delivering food in a snow storm on my fixed gear bike. Watch as I work a dinner shift as a bike courier. The roads were mostly unplowed which made for a great ride on the track bike.

Big respect from Germany for working while these bad road conditions! Awesome!
stay safe and cheers from moscow, russia! we got tons of snow out here right now, and the ice underneath is plain devious, so i had no choice but to put a studded tire in the front (that also required getting a different fork to fit 35c but it was worth it). the backwheel is mostly fine, it goes crazy sometimes but not too bad 😄keep up the good content!
I’ll have to try that out using just one studded tire 😅 thank you!!🙏
You truly are a winter warrior, mad respect!!!
Thank you broo!!😁😁
Dang, man! I bust out my fat bikes, when weather is like that. I can't imagine navigating that slop with 700c tires. You earned your money that day (not that you don't normally). Thanks for bringing us along for the not glorious days, my friend. Take care!
Thanks man! I definitely should have used something more knobby on the tires. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼🔥
Hustle hard...stay safe, keep warm n dry bro
Thank you bro!!! I really appreciate that🙏🙏
Crazy guy! Mad respect for working in that snow, hope you got good tips
Beastmode like a true Hoosier! Keep on grindin bro and stay safe out there!!
That bicycle is very nice. I have 4 bicycles, one of them is A similar color to your's. It's A Schwinn Median hybrid sport cruiser. I add sport and cruiser when describing it, because of the cruiser style handlebars, the 7 speed beach-cruiser gears, combined with the very skinny 700cc-28c roadie-tires that are currently on it. I bought it back in October of 2019, at a local bike-shop, for $108. Sweet Deal, even back then.
When I looked up the bike recently, I found out that they made them for a limited time frame period, in 2013. My rear tire recently popped, luckily when I was only around one hundred feet away from my home. I noticed when I looked up the details on this Schwinn bike of mine, that when new, it had much wider 38c tires. So it was I guess a Gravel Cruiser Hybrid when brand new. The bike-shop worker apparently wanted to sell it with much thinner tires.
I remember the day I bought it, the bike was amongst a pile of other used bikes and it caught my attention, because of the affordable price and the racing type tires. The bike shop worker was like, "Yeah Dude, Take it for a Spin, You'll Love it, It freakin Flys Man..!!!"
So yeah, I test rode it and was pretty much immediately thinking, Yeah, this thing is pretty sweet. Can't pass up this deal..!! : )
I do think that I just might want to go with wider tires though. Hopefully the rims on it can accommodate significantly wider tires. I remember way back in the day, having a rigid fork Scott brand mountain bike, stocked with 1.95" tires, and the rims accommodated 1.50" tires.
You're bike looks like it has 38c tire width. Something similar to the standard 10 speed bicycles that they sold in department and hardware stores back in the 1980's. They typically had 1-3/8th" tires. Most roadie riders, especially the spandex clad riders in them bike-clubs have 1" width tires on they're $3,000 roadie bikes.
NY couriers have nothing on you man. Awesome 👏 ❤️
오 형제여 당신처럼 눈길에서 자전거를 안정적으로 타는 사람을 본적이 없네..하늘이 형제에게 내린 특별한 재능이요..
나도 한국에서 전기자전거 배달하는데 내가 성공해서 여유가 많으면 당신을 한국으로 초대해서 같이 자전거 여행을 떠나고 싶소..
Wow, respect!!! Those aren't easy conditions 😅
Thank you!😁 I felt like I was going too slow haha
Dude! Be careful out there. Not worried about your skills, but the cars! As someone who rides in the winter as well, I'd love to know what gloves you're using.
Hey thanks man! I appreciate that and I’m using trash messenger gloves. If you google trash messenger bags you will see them on the website! They work fairly well but there are better options out there
@@Fixedgearr Thanks! I appreciate the info. Stay safe out there.
Reminds my deliveries most of January, the worst is when youre stopped and start pumping to move and the back wheel loses traction.
No kidding haha trying to do a track stand and the tire slips out from under you
I like the colour scheme so far on your bike based on what I can see. Can we get a bike tour or did you already do that?
I’ll do an official bike check soon! Thanks for watching bro!🤙🏼
Bruh a 243 e 12th and a 550 university as a double ship is a wild move
In that weather 🙄 she knew she was wrong
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you bro!!!!🤙🏼🫡
I'm a big proponent of studded tires. But the way they aggressively salt the roads on this continent makes it more like soup instead of snow. The benefit of studs is very marginal as a result.
Man what tire are you using and what size? Ridesafe mad respect!
heavy snows... stay safe
do you do rinse, wipe down the bike after a shift in those conditions? Or do you do anything to prevent all that salt from damaging components?
I don’t as often as I should! Really you should do that every time after a rainy ride too!
"The Thing" from 1982 looks like an easy job compared to this.
WTF is up with that car with the flat tyre, it appears at 0:13 than again at 2:42 at the same spot 😂
Haha I hoped someone would notice that😅
@@Fixedgearr Haha yeah that was super weird, big up from the UK and stay safe bud
what bag do you use? have had mission workshop for years, looking from something bigger
Hey! I use the trash messenger bags vortex. But I also have a monster by trash! Super huge
Does the kitchen or courier dispatch charge an additional fee when it's shitty weather?
They have a hazard pay this time but that’s about it. I wish they offered a little extra on each delivery
whats your outfit to endure the weather ? 😂😂 don you make delivery only for one restaurant ? i see you always coming back to the same place
just a hoodie with a t shirt over it. I’ve been trying to go with less layers so I sweat less . And yes! I work for just one kitchen here in Indy
Are fixies hard to climb hills with? I've been looking at a fixed, at a priority 3 speed, or priority 7 speed but dont know how they handle hills. its relatively flat here but i will encounter a hill every time guaranteed. I'm just trying to get from a to b i dont care how fast
just have a low enough gear. personally in terms of mechanics I think it's easier. the hard part is getting a gear that's appropriate for your area. but also you'll get stronger. something I learned early on is that there's no need to be afraid of hills, even if you have to bail it's no biggie
Exactly! It’s all depending on your ratio, I’ve been riding fixed for a little over 2 years so I’m used to pushing my regular fixed gear up a hill. But it’s definitely not effort free climbing hills
Yeah what they’ve say above 👆 I’ll say from my experiences is that getting a ratio from 50-46front and 14-23rear to choose from for fixed/track for the streets is do able for hills up to 10% gradient.
I guess sometimes I forget exercise is part of the whole dang point. I don't mind walking up a hill. one of the things about fixies that is appealing to me is the simplicity. just move your legs
Do you use the same gear ratio for winter as for summer?
Yes! I usually don’t switch it up
Did you make good $$$$$ at least?
It was….. okay 😂😂😁 it could have been more that’s for sure
