Fixed-Gear Bikes

Whether it is racing at the track or commuting around the city, a fixed-gear or fixie bike is a solid choice. It offers a straightforward cycling experience along with easy maintenance and repair. As their name suggests, the main feature of these bicycles is a single gear, or a cog, that is attached directly to the hub of a rear wheel. That means there is no freewheel mechanism. So the wheel is turning as long as the pedals are turning. As a result, a fixie bike does not allow for coasting, even if you are riding it downhill, and can be stopped by just stopping the pedals from rotating.

Be that as it may, many models are equipped with front brakes for added safety and to be street illegal in most states. Thanks to their design, they are lightweight, maneuverable, and cost efficient. What’s more important, they have fewer parts to break than other bicycles, which means they are easier and cheaper to repair. Although they have a simple design, they are available in a variety of models to choose from. The finest of them are showcased in our selection of fixed-gear bikes.
