Fixed bike :)

FIXIE BIKEY

A fixed-gear bicycle (or fixed-wheel bicycle, sometimes known in the USA as a fixie) is a bicycle that has no freewheel, meaning it cannot coast — the pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving.The sprocket is screwed or bolted directly onto a fixed hub. When the rear wheel turns, the pedals turn in the same direction. This allows a cyclist to stop without using a brake, by resisting the rotation of the cranks, and also to ride in reverse.Track cycling in a velodrome has always used fixed-gear track bikes, but fixed-gear bicycles are now again used on the road,a trend generally seen as being led by bicycle messengers.Recently, fixed-gear bikes have risen in popularity among hipsters, possibly due to their appeal as a "vintage" accessory.

Riding fixed is considered by some to encourage a more effective pedaling style, which is claimed translates into greater efficiency and power when used on a bicycle fitted with a freewheel.When first riding a fixed gear, a cyclist used to a freewheel has a tendency to try to coast, particularly when approaching corners or obstacles. Since freewheeling, or coasting, is not possible, this can lead to anything from a 'kick' to the trailing leg, up to a loss of control of the bicycle.Riding at speed around corners can be difficult for the novice rider, as the pedals can strike the road, resulting in a possible loss of control.Without gears, fixed-gear cyclists cannot shift into more advantageous gears for steep climbs or descents.Some fixed-gear riders think brakes are not strictly necessary, and brakeless fixed riding has a cult status in some areas.For the image-concerned cyclist, brakes and their cables add extra aesthetic "bulk" to the simple, minimalist look of a fixed gear.

i really want this ride, its kinda vintage for me.
