@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.

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 : )

Love the bike, what is the point of a fixie?? just curious.

@nilo2209 Cool!

@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.

@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. :)
