WHAT IS FIXIE / HOW TO DESIGN FIXED GEAR ?



Wikipedia said:
“bicycle that has no freewheel, meaning it cannot coast — the pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving.”

Riding a bike offers many health benefits. Here are just a few:
increased cardiovascular fitness
increased strength
increased balance and flexibility
increased endurance and stamina
increased calories burned
It can be done by people of all ages, from childhood up even through the adult years when achy joints don't allow for more stressful exercise like jogging.

Why Get Fixed Gear?
Fun! Your bike is more than a transportation tool, it is your adult toy (not that kind of adult toy.) A fixed gear bicycle is simply much more fun in our experience. You will feel a kinship with your first fixie that you haven’t with any other bike, except maybe your childhood big wheel.

Simplicity: It seems everybody wants their life to be simpler, your bike is no exception. Fixed gears are one gear. Simply keep your chain lubricated and you are good to go and go and go.

Connection to the road: Since your pedals and chain are directly connected to the rear sprocket you will feel direct feedback from your bike as you ride. This allows you to feel more attuned to your bike and your environment.

Customization: You can customize any bike not just fixies. However there is growing industry that caters to helping you create a truly unique and customized fixed-gear experience.

Fun: Did we already mention this?
