My Favourite new sport

I have recently been spending more and more time on my single speed bike (otherwise called a fixed gear bike.) Its essentially the same as most of your average bikes except theres no freewheeling – its all constant pedaling, but in a good way. Think track bike cycling meets urban environements – I found some bike porn which made me start this phase off again – I used to ride fixies when I was much younger but hadn’t got on one for years.

Couriers sometimes use them too – thats where they started being used in cities I think! long live the awesome fixed gears tho – its so neat for doing tricks and speed towning.
