Speed vs. tricks it’s a mad question when you’re talking about fixie, which better, which is more rad, and which is more dangerous. Well let’s through all these questions out the window, and say they are both nice, both rad, and both dangerous. When ya see a fixie haulin ass down a hill, or barspinnin it backwards in the G-store parking lot, you’re gonna say holy crap that’s sweet. So what’s the debate for, is there really any need to argue? Maybe, or maybe not, I personally ride for fun, sometimes a little bit of speed and once in a while a little trick here or there. Whether you do one of the other, you’re still having fun right? So why argue about who’s better?

For all you tricksters out there, my congratulations go out to you. Your bmx like tricks are some of the sickest I’ve ever seen, you lay your body on the line every time you ride, and let me tell you it’s looking good, keep on keeping on.
For all you speedsters out there, my congratulations go out to you. You flash like speed is indescribable, you get me my package in record time, and you can do laps around that track faster than my car. Your legs are like your engine, when you fly around town on your two wheeled self-propelled speed machine. So for all you speedsters keep on speeding on.
For anyone else I might have missed here, my congratulations goes out you, you ride your fixie to get to work, you ride your fixie to get to school, and you ride your fixie to make it to the store. No worries you don’t have to be fast, you don’t have to do sweet tricks, just keep on riding on.

Barack Obama Fixed Gear Bike Ebay Auction

Can you belive this. It is a Barack Obama fixed gear bike. It is selling on ebay now, but auction does end soon. Crazy thing is that this bike is HOTTTT!!!!!

You can read more about it and see more pictures here and here

If you are like me then you probably know that the Pista or “The Hour” are some of the cheaper fixed gear frames out on the market to get you started with.

Well thanks to Schwinn no more. I saw this little doozy at UrbanVelo.com and couldn’t believe the price. Just $300 dollars you can get your first fixed gear bike.

Saw this on The Worlds Best Ever and think it is pretty tacky, at the same time I want it hahaha. What do you think is this going to far in customizing your bike.

According to BikeRadar at the latest Interbike there were a few new fixies that had belt drives compared to the traditional chain.

Honestly I have never rode a bike that used a belt instead of a chain, so I can’t comment. But, here is what one person had to say.

Harley Motor bikes have several bikes that are belt driven, and they say they’d be good for over 7000miles. I think these belts are made by the same company. Orange MTB’s that have belt drives are at least. If they can survive 7000miles on a big Harley, they should be good for a year on a fixie. Time will tell.

What do you think are belt drives feasible on fixed gear bikes ?

We all know the Bianchi Pista is a stable of the fixed gear bike community. It is a great starter bike. What would the pista look like if Bianchi fed it steroids and a dose of Awesome. You will get the Bianchi x Roge Status The streetwear label Rogue Status has teamed up with Italian bike maker Bianchi to create this bike. No information has been released about when this bike will be available to the public, but stayed tuned and I will try to let you know as soon as I get wind.
