Fixed gear road bike/bikes
November 28th, 2008Bikes are fun, wouldn’t you agree? Whether your chipping it into town on a fixed gear road bike or pelting down a muddy slope on something more rugged. But what would define as the worlds best bike? the one bike that irrelevant of money, materials (got to be real obviously) and time you would give anything for?
Would it be a fixed gear road bike? In actual fact, at least for me personally I would usually more opt for a fixed gear track bike, road bikes are nice but they don’t stand up to tricks like missed bunnyhops onto curbs etc very well, in fact I have a funny story about that but thats for another time, In my eyes the best bike I ever road was my 1980’s Raleigh fixed gear track bike, something I 100% regret selling on.

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment on my site. As the series comes out, you’ll see that, yes, the American Dream, is still alive: A bit under the weather, but still alive.
I never knew there was a whole fixed gear fan base and I’m enjoying the site. Reminds me of a CCM that I owned about five thousand years ago. CCM also had a two-gear rear hub that you could switch from Hi to Lo with a quick back pedal that didn’t quite engage the brake.
Cheers!
