The website that I spend way too much time on.

So there is this website called www.fixedgeargallery.com. It is a site all about fixed gear bikes, its pretty much a fixed riders' dream site. There are daily blogs, videos, photos, and links to more than enough websites relating to bikes. Some of you are probably wondering what a "fixed gear" bike is. Well, it is a bike that has a fixed gear, you have no ability to coast. The sprocket is connected directly to the hub. Whenever the rear-wheel is turning, so are the pedals. usually these bikes have no brakes, and in order to stop you resist the rotation of the pedals.
This site, like I said, is a fixed gear riders' dream site. If i ever have any questions about how to fix my bike, or want to know a place to buy some sweet threads, or even look at the crazy and whacky paintjobs people do with their fixies, this is the site I turn to. If you are a fixed rider, or just interested in the wonderful world of fixies, then check this site out. You won't be disappointed.

  1. If I rode a fixed gear bike, I'd probably hurt myself trying to brake. Actually I'd hurt myself on any bike.

    Its cool though how people become super knowledgeable about their interests.
