does anyone know what kind of tire the guy is riding at 37 seconds into the video clip. im trying to figure out where i can order solid colored tires. thanks.
Yeah, an older friend of mine who grew up in Soviet Russia told me that the state-made bikes were all fixed gears... of course because they were the cheapest to make.
Uhhh... no, it wasn't invented for the movie quicksilver. Fixed gear cycling got its start in track racing in whats called a velodrome... Hence the name Velo deep in fixie culture.
whaa? it's fixed gear, the pedals never stop whether forward or backward. you have to cause pressure on your back foot to skid not stop pedaling, thats impossible
I fell asleep 15 minutes into that dvd. The trailer is all the interesting parts looped then it just suuuuucks. That could sound pretty harsh but it's true.
Its just like a coaster brake. pedal back and skid. They're real cool. someone in SF invented it a few years back, for Kevin Bacon's movie Quicksilver. Awesome stuff
Fixed gear bikes can coast, usually with a freewheel. They only have a single ratio, determined by the front chainring and rear cog. FIXED WHEEL bikes do NOT coast, as the rear cog is FIXED and must rotate with the hub.
at first i was like "why is this so interesting it just a couple guys on bikes...so pointless" then after about 1min it kinda picked up...the long intro isnt really necessary and kinda pointless if you're trying to show off skill. not bad though
the song is The FAINT - Your Retro Career Melted (ursula 1000 remix)
Wicked stuff! i want a fixie road bike now!
By building one. Seriously, the best fixies are ones that you build lovingly from the ground up, part by part.
This is what I wanted to see, thankz bra !
dude, i like your drops, what kind of handlebars are those?
like which company/model
DOPE! What city's was this filmed in? Can I get this Video via mail order?
I want bar end lights like that one dude!
the song is c-bo americas nightmare.
Nice video brothers. Keep living your way
Most all fixed gear bikes are customs... Paint and colored wheels make them stand apart. But any old frame from the 80's will do.
please what ist the name of the song? great..
forever fixed ;-)
omg im getting my fixie tommorow or the next day!

You can't get it as it is. You always have to buy the parts separately and fix it up yourself or your LBS.

that song is so hot. what band? what song?
Fixie is the next skateboard!!!!!!
Yea, whats with the 70's dad bikes????
crank up HARD on your dominate foot, press down with your other. like back pedaling really hard.

detta va FAEN ikkje bra!!!
Any bike with rear brakes can drift on "solid" roads. But it takes a little more skill on a fixed gear.
we used to call em "big boy" bikes
Its just like a coaster brake. pedal back and skid. They're real cool. someone in SF invented it a few years back, for Kevin Bacon's movie Quicksilver. Awesome stuff
that's wicked shit :) nice!
they are skidding...not coasting...
Yeah, save for the guy hopping around on the FUCKING CARBON DISC WHEEL...
Fixed gear bikes can coast, usually with a freewheel. They only have a single ratio, determined by the front chainring and rear cog.
FIXED WHEEL bikes do NOT coast, as the rear cog is FIXED and must rotate with the hub.
track bikes are like B.M.X. for big kids.
WTF??!!
ahahaha tricks on those hobo bikes BWAHA
some one give them a damn BMX!
at first i was like "why is this so interesting it just a couple guys on bikes...so pointless" then after about 1min it kinda picked up...the long intro isnt really necessary and kinda pointless if you're trying to show off skill. not bad though
