Yeah Fixies are really convenient in the city I agree. And road biking in the city is a pain because there isn't much you get out of stop and go riding, which is why road cyclists would go out into mountains or long stretches of roads. But if I were to ride a fixie I would miss the sharp leaning into turns. But fixies are still cool.
Dude, I breathe through bike frame tubes when snorkeling. I use spokes as chopsticks. I cover up with bikes on cold nights. There was a Frenchman who found bikes quite edible in the 80s. Someday I'll try riding one.
looks like 48x16. two available skid spots! :) taller gearing than yours, yes. I should look into a bigger rear gear. do you feel like strap pedals help you with your wheelies/etc? what pedals do you use? i've seen the IRO; i salute any maker only making fixed gear bikes... i rode mine for about 4 seconds before i said "oh, this is IT, man."
it took me 5 days to do a no handed track stand, and 2 weeks to do most else. Fixed gear tricks are usually pretty simple if you work at it. What bike did you get?
@dudeitsart all high end derailleurs are expensive! my road bike was 3400. got a set of wheels that cost more than the high end fixie you were looking at also
I use platform pedals, because clip pedals scare the shit out of me. Right now I am just using tioga platform pedals. I use them on all of my bikes, including my BMX race bike. My Surly 1x1 uses oddessy pedals though, because the tiogas tear up my leg if I crash. 44-16 is a fine gear for freestyle fixed gear stuff. I personally get going faster with a lower gear though.
Okay, all I want to do at this point is ride 1 or 0 handed wheelies like the guy on the orange frame; how many years away am I? Serious question. Buying my first fix this week, been riding freewheel for millennia.
that's what it looks like untill you get into it, and then you understand, riding fixed is like learning to ride all over again, especially if you want to do tricks and go brakeless
hey, thanks for responding. FIVE DAYS. wow. 2 weeks- and you got a no-handed wheelie??? the olympic committee needs to hear about this. i got a bianchi pista. probably too tall of gears to do stuff like this, do you think? i can almost do a track stand with hands (but it's like -300 degrees out right now, so no practice), and i'm sure that's possible on gears like this. got my skid stop down pretty well. i'm using shimano clipless pedals, though; do cages give "good" freedom/slop? thx.
I'm not hating here. I rode a bmx bike bout 10 years ago...was heavy into flatland. Its a hard sport. I just dont understand why its "cool" to ride a fixed gear track/road bike and do these tricks. And in all honesty...its much harder to do the tricks on these bikes....just as its much harder to do these tricks on these bikes....its much harder to do flip tricks on a long board :p
i understand you are more connected with the flow of the bike etc with fixed gear - it's the "tricks" side that i'm discussing here. I certainly listen to people talking about how fixed gear makes you feel more connected, that to me is totally true. It's the tricks people are doing - fixed gear or not, these are elementary things people are doing, that's why i don't get the big reactions etc. What am i missing here nilo?
i dont get this type of riding. It sort of looks like ballet or something? If you see serious guys riding street trials then watch this it looks like regression to me. Does anyone know what i mean?
Speaking for road cyclists, a lot of us have trained ourselves to track stand while we wait for the green light. And i think fixies are far inferior to that of a road bike just of the benefits. The only thing i can see out of a fixie is fun. But fixies don't annoy me, fixie riders just need to understand why they are riding a fixie. I do favor the awesome things that fixie riders can pull off.
uh no thats not true. just becuase you ride a free wheel doesn't mean you don't know what you are doing. there are thinks called road bikes you know...
@dudeitsart Not really. If you look hard enough you can build a decent one for under $300. Decent track bikes are around the same price as decent BMX bikes. Road bikes are WAY pricier. More components = more money. That shit can get expensive. Look around eBay for used wheelsets and frames.
those "tricks" look like very small fry compared to what technical trials riders get up to. That's why i don't get this...just because you are fixed gear does not mean that suddenly it's a whole other avenue of "trick" - it simply means you can't stop peddaling. RUclips "Danny Macaskill April 2009" and you will see what i mean - you just can't compare the 2 in my opinion.
@hallmedic a bike that u can ride for than 20 mins without ur legs giving way, a bike that has brakes, a bike that u dont look like a spa on and so what if there are so many of us "negative assholes" on youtube atleast we dont go to a puplic place and think we are the shit coz we can skid. any and every 5 year old can skid
If by streetware you mean skin tight jeans that fixie dudes love some much then possibly if the girls wear the same style. Biketrials is cooler than road mtn fixie or single speed riding. Check out my videos and see why I think doing skids wheelies and and whatever else fixie riders do is silly.
Eh I was in a smart ass mood that day and stumbled across this. Anyone wasting time to dis these riders is silly, and anyone wasting time to dis the people who dis this video is also silly. Welcome to the silly club namkrow.
i love how fixie riders claim to be about the essence of bicycles, yet will talk shit to anyone who rides different. OH NO! i have brakes , gears, and shocks. i must be a loser for bombing dirt hills and getting air , as oppose to skidding around with leg over handle bar? its supposed to be about riding! not fashion , cliques, and colors.
man... All you people arguing and complaining and bickering. Just simply shut up, get your fixed gear bike without all the messes of multiple gears. and just BIKE. in the wind, you guys cant argue, cause you won't be able to hear each other. so just BIKE and just shut up, Just bike.
hey, like your name. check out my discussion with mastercon12 below; you can set the gearing however you like (with wrenches etc.). look for "fixed gear spin" on youtube, and after you pick your jaw back up, re-watch it, and look at his gearing... obvious that some gearings are good for speed, and others good for coordination.
bag on me all you want, "yoyoguy", i rode fixed when i was 7, which was when it was popular, well before your time. As fleetgt already said, this is old shit rehashed for the hipster crowd - it's not progressive in my humble opinion, something that might annoy you, but that's because it's true.
i always use to think that this was hard and looked good but i had a go of my mates fixie the other day and really its all so easy to do. like im no pro at it but give me a day or two and i could do anything u do ..... but i dont wana. fixies look gay. get a proper bike . i know this is gona get fuck loads of - props but really skids are for kids and basicly thats all ppl do on fixies

Never fails. Cadence kills it again.
I remember watching this video when I was younger and getting so hyped to ride my fixie
RIP Keo Curry
thats a very good point my friend :)
im a road cyclist, but i do enjoy watching fixed gear riders riding in circles and doing trackstands lol XD

longest wheelie ever that was totally sick lovin the fixie

It probably helps that I have been doing trials also for a while. I am running a 44-18 on an iro mark v. What are you running?
@dudeitsart all high end derailleurs are expensive! my road bike was 3400. got a set of wheels that cost more than the high end fixie you were looking at also
Damn how can you wheelie so slow, great vid!!!
I love it Bikes are for more than just racing.

OMG what song is this?
and by who!?!?!?
You have girls? That's really something. Men having relationships with women, you must be so proud. Good point Bilo

nice skids, sweet balence ---> that was nuts

thanks, pal! found it. white rhino. much better in stereo. :)
uh no thats not true. just becuase you ride a free wheel doesn't mean you don't know what you are doing. there are thinks called road bikes you know...
and the weatherman sampled is Bob Ryan, chief meteorologist at Channel 4 News in DC... kinda random.
my favorite part is the 1" bunny hop to fakie on the bank
i think keo has an automatic wheelie button on his bike. shits too sick.
ever ride a fixed gear?
@dudeitsart Not really. If you look hard enough you can build a decent one for under $300. Decent track bikes are around the same price as decent BMX bikes. Road bikes are WAY pricier. More components = more money. That shit can get expensive. Look around eBay for used wheelsets and frames.
and WHOSE MUSIC? cold.
Whoa. Keep it going.
hey your bikes don't have brakes!
eheh
What about the people who actually ride fixes? not just do circles :p.
@nicktamaman This dudes got a good head on his shoulders.
i love how they are usin fix gear
Scene kids are the ones riding all the fixies.
those "tricks" look like very small fry compared to what technical trials riders get up to. That's why i don't get this...just because you are fixed gear does not mean that suddenly it's a whole other avenue of "trick" - it simply means you can't stop peddaling. RUclips "Danny Macaskill April 2009" and you will see what i mean - you just can't compare the 2 in my opinion.
glad what was cool like 30 years ago on normal bikes is cool on fashion forward fixedqueers. skids and wheelies not impressed.
cadence,
you riders are incredible...but...
why does the video quality suck on your videos?
what is the music?
but it blurs out before he gets around her
bikes schmikes, lets see that all done on a horse!
haaaaaa-- just f'n around, bike on!
nice Polish music ;)
keo dosent even need two wheels on his bike hahah
oh shit.shit.
shout outs to CADENCE!
@nicktamaman dude if it's mainstream.. they won't like it.
@nicktamaman nice comment !
@11cjasp11 Kay go 50 miles an hour in between traffic. Easy as cake.
@hallmedic a bike that u can ride for than 20 mins without ur legs giving way, a bike that has brakes, a bike that u dont look like a spa on and so what if there are so many of us "negative assholes" on youtube atleast we dont go to a puplic place and think we are the shit coz we can skid. any and every 5 year old can skid
0:21 does he hit her?
i cud do all this shit and more stuff on a bmx this is like bmx flatland training for grannys lol
That guy totally crashes into that women at 0:20 seconds

@wongnumba lol... very much so depending, very much so.
thanks
