At first I never really saw the attraction of a fixed gear bike, I had enough troubles trying to get on with a BMX with brakes!! But after seeing my good friends fixie, I must admit that I was pretty impressed. Not just with the aesthetics of the bike but also the agility and speed in which my friend flew around the streets on it.
So for all you fixie skeptics out there, check this out, I think it might change your mind…
