@twostepsteezy The fender helps keep water (and more importantly) mud from being slung onto the person. A lot of times you can tell who doesn't ride with one when it rains because they will have dots of mud on their backs :)
Fixed gears are fucking lame. They are like the new aggressive skating except fruitier. That was like the lamest flat land I have seen. I think we were doing that on our bmx when we were like 12. go buy a razor.
@MrTiaHemingway oh that's such a cool comment. None of us fixie riders ever rode bmx in the 80s fer sure. Except me of course, I had the Raleigh Tough Burner. If I still had it I would convert it into a fixie. By the way fixed gear actually means singlespeed so bmx is fixed gear too. Bummer, eh?
Not all fixies are track bikes. In my case it is a fixed gear conversion. For me, riding fixed combines the best elements of road cycling with flatland bmx hence the equation.
You can have a bmx bike with fixed gear. A roadbike/bmx hybrid would probably look more like a mountain bike.
The only real difference in roadbikes and fixies are the constant of one FIXED GEAR vs one(singlespeed) or several gears on a freewheel.
Bicycles are my number 1 hobby. I've made every kind of bike into a fixed. But saying bmx+roadbike=fixie is slightly offensive to us in the roadbike crowd because we can do anything fixies can do aside from pedal backwards.
lets see some skids on those roadies then. oh wait you cant, i just hear those squeeky ass handle brakes comming up behind me cuz you cant keep up. weenie!
What are we 10? I haven't done a skid since I had a coaster brake on my schwinn predator in fifth grade. I do slides without even touching my brake. I love fixies, but I love my roadies more.
are u 10? dont compare track bikes AKA fixes to roadies. u and i both know they are nothing alike and we both know that you cant do every thing with a track bike on a road bike. if u dont want some one to call u on your shit then dont say dumb shit to encourage an asshole like me to take the time out of my day to make you feel dumb. any way just ride your bike and shwinn predators sucked! lol
i love to see when weenies remove comments. and im the weirdo. lol. couldnt figure out what to say? too bad. why would you want me to call you? so i can make you look even dumber? say what you mean son. your a funny guy right? got you thinking too much yet? dude i can do this all day. all you gotta do is ride your bike, but since you have self esteem issues you watch fixed gear videos to dream about what you could do on a bike. wait you probably drive a vespa? or one of those gay scooters. ttyl
I deleted it because I missed a word and decided to write something else.
Actually I ride bikes instead of driving. Fixed and freewheel. If you think you can insult someone on youtube comments you need to get out more. I'll reiterate: Fuck off, weirdo.
dude i bet your bmx bike is more shit than a track bike..those bikes are more expensive than your fukin haro,eastern,bully,or 2hip or whatever crap you ride..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you guys are fuggin lame. its cool if you just so happened to be into fixed gear bikes, but your not. you all dress the part have the cookie cutter crap. LAME SCENE, posting a video on youtube of you being wrapped up in a cheesy urban bike fad is super lame. douchebags!!!!
are people from jersey afraid to type out the word "fuck" online? If they're having fun then let them be. If you have a better video then post it up. Don't like their video? Punch your screen.
chickenan you are a fuking retard. Ever ridden a bike in the rain or even just on wet pavement? You get your ass and back totally soaked, and your clothes often get stained.
I think it will be more like skate boarding, everybody will be doing it and they will all think they're some cool shit but they'll just be wannabe elitist pigs. That being said I don't mind skate boarding or fixies for that matter.. I just hate people.
i haven't been looking at this for a while. the green mtb is single. we were testing it so that some video guy can edit out the bike and make it look like your floating. just goofing around.
To be specific, most of the bikes in this video are single speed, not fixed gear. A fixed gear's pedals will not stop moving when the bike is in motion.
Yeah, I know how fixed gear bikes work, but if you stop pedaling then the back wheel stops and you make the bike skid. I do it all the time. That's what it looked like they were doing, to me at least.
Take a look at :57 and 1:19 (just some of many examples). In the first case he pedals backwards and in the next the guy is moving forward while the pedals are motionless.
Yeah, :57 is definitely a single speed, but if you notice at 1:19 the rear wheel is motionless. Also the fixed gears in this video don't have brake levers, so they can do those bar spins, and I haven't known coaster brakes to be too common on road bikes like these. So yeah, there are a couple single speeds in there but I think they're mostly fixies.
If you don't understand much about fixed gear bikes, don't post comments highlighting that fact. at 1:19 the spoke cards betray the skids (card doesn't move, wheel isn't moving). Watch your 'multiple examples' again. Although, I like the idea of someone making a fixed gear video hoax, you ought to think before you shoot off. multiple times. a single speeder doing an endo and a wheelie is cool enough to make it in a fg video. relax.
:57 is indeed a single speed (nice catch, brooks), but every other bike shown in the video is a fixed gear. As oldschoolmechanic pointed out - that's how all of the skids are accomplished.
Awesome... i dont really understand about bicycling, but the way you presenting the video make me feels the spirit... i'll wait for your next video...
