A metal fixed-gear machine is the one bike you’ll ever want – right here’s why


A fast definition: A fixed-gear bicycle (or fixie), just like the very first security bicycles launched in 1885 by John Kemp Starley in Coventry, England, is the best and, some (like me) would argue, the purest type of the bicycle.

A fixie has a direct drivetrain by which a single chainring is linked by a sequence to a single sprocket with out a ratchet system. Which means the bicycle has a single gear that turns the drive wheel in sync with the pedals with out the choice of freewheeling (a pernicious behavior in any case). In the event you’re transferring ahead, your pedals are turning. No exceptions.
