Thank god someone invented the wheel

We're a group of people who enjoy going out and trying new challenges on the bike. And we thought it would be nice to share some of the beautiful stuff we see. Enjoy.

Commuter //// Goodbye fixie

A final Goodbye to the fixie bike as far as I'm concerned as my last bike
undergoes its operation to become a good old single speed.

Why no more fixie?

Well, I've tried it out for at least a year and whilst I have enjoyed it, these are the main reasons
why I doubt I'll ever go back to it.

1. Hard on the bumps
2. One break at the front is not enough as a safety net
3. Three wrecked pairs of trousers

Au revoir mon petit fixie, a jamais..

    How did you wreck your trousers? I agree speed humps are a problem though!

    Hi James,

    the edge of my trousers got caught in the chain ring when I did not tuck them into my socks properly.
    I supposed it was my fault as I did not tuck them in well, but still a bummer when it's a good pair of trousers.

    enjoying the single speed
