Fixed Gear Bikes
Fixed gear bicycles, commonly known as fixies, have carved out a cult following among urban riders, custom builders, and cycling purists.
A fixed-gear bike has a drivetrain that doesn’t freewheel — meaning the pedals turn anytime the rear wheel is in motion. This direct setup delivers a stripped-back, minimalist ride that’s prized for simplicity, control, and responsiveness. Fixies are often used in city riding, track racing, and custom builds.
Most road-legal fixies include at least a front brake and a moderate gear ratio to keep things safe and manageable.
Why Choose a Fixie?
• Less Maintenance: No derailleurs or shifters to worry about.
• Lightweight Design: Fewer components mean less weight.
• Greater Control: Direct drivetrain gives you instant feedback and power.
• Stylish & Customizable: Many fixie riders choose vibrant frame colors, unique handlebars, and eye-catching wheels.
The riding experience is not for everyone. With constant pedal movement, fixies demand attention and engagement. But for many, that’s exactly what makes them so rewarding. It’s a bike that insists you feel every inch of the ride.
Who Rides Fixed Gear Bikes?
From casual commuters to competitive track cyclists, fixed gear bikes attract a wide spectrum of riders. Some love the simplicity, others revel in the challenge. Whether you’re drawn to the aesthetic, the control, or the customization, fixies offer something unique — a ride that can’t be replicated with traditional geared bikes.
