A fixed gear,the simplest form of bicycle,
1 gear with no coasting/freewheeling mechanism. Generally made on old road (AKA 10 speed) frames (different than , but similar in appearance to a "track bike" which is built up on a frame designed specifically for racing in a
velodrome.) Its lack of extra bits is ideal for bike mechanics who don't enjoy fixing their own bikes after wrenching at work all day. Also enjoyed by annoying scenesters, the "
Super Rookie," and "poor" college students who ride them because they think that it makes them cool.
I finally pulled off my derailleurs and lost my ability to coast on
my bike, now i got me a fixie and am
uber cool and can get the ladies without my
Benz.
