There is no point to a fixie, other than following a trend. There is however a point to riding a track bike on the street. It is the fastest a2b bike around. You might say there is no point for a ferarri off the racetrack, true. Not true with track bikes on road, all benefits are transferable. Ride what you like : )
@strangefacekid I like the cyclocross bikes too more for durability, Im riding a Motobecane "comfort bike", just getting back into riding recently and it feels great, especially riding along the coast, im getting closer to 50 yrs old, cant think of a better way to stay in shape and get outside and have fun. the ultimate for me would be able to bike around a few of the Hawaiian islands someday, with a bunch of cool easy going people, of all styles of bikes.
I was reading that bike messengers feel that fixie bikes are now popular because of them and that the average person is just copying them but I gotta say when I was a kid we rode what is now called a fixie bike. We rode on one gear bikes that braked by pedaling backwards. (And we liked it that way!) = )
@copperpaint you mean coaster brake? Not the same thing at all. Anyway yes, fixed gear has been around for 100+ years. Bike messengers picked it up again though, after the bicycle industry had successfully pushed 200 gears and freewheel onto everyone. Bike messengers keep riding fixed nomatter what anyone says. Kids see this and want to ride like the bike messengers. Fashion industries notice this and want to make money off of it. This isn't rocket science.
@nilo2209 Well they are similar in that there is not gear shifting on either bike. But thanks for letting me know that the term is coaster brake. Helps me find what I am looking for. There is an odd pretentiousness in the bicycling world that only serves to jack up prices to ridiculous amounts for basic functions. I never understood that.
@copperpaint but it's a coaster bike so riding it feels just like riding a geared bike except there is only one gear. Sounds like you have never tried riding a fixed gear. You enter another world when you can't coast. The bike looks the same but is so different. You feel the force of the rotating rear wheel in your legs all the time and slowing the bike down (without using conventional brakes) means you have to resist this force. You become the brake yourself. Try it. :)
@copperpaint just to clarify: Fixed gear doesn't actually mean one gear. It means that there is no freewheel mechanism. The absolutely correct term is fixed wheel, as opposed to free wheel. When the wheel rotates, so does the pedals and vice versa. Like a unicycle.
great intro with the dorkcicle. michelob ultra!!! bah hahaha!!!! low carb beer. so nasty. carbs are what keep you pedaling. pedaling to your next beer. and next. obviously that bike never left home. haha, putting your moms vomit fake beer on your bike and taking a picture. sheeit.
@sointoyourmother says it on there, a leader (you can find more info on leader bikes if you google it, but around 07-09ish many manufactures have the same design on the track frame (maybe even same manufacture just re-branded), for instance my 08 fuji ftp frame looks exactly like it except for the paint job, so does a cervelo t1 (except it's seat tube near the collar is slightly modified)
Dear Aerospoke®: would you mind lowering your prices a little bit so I can get one!
