The Single-speed Trainer
If you live in a modern city you’ll see these mad bike couriers zipping along on single-speed bikes. Most are converted road or track bikes and are generally of the fixed wheel variety. Those in the scene know them as: fixies!
Well, I’ve jumped onto this craze. Mad huh? ![]()
At first glance you could say that. In fact most of my non-cycling friends and acquaintances think I’m mad for shaving may legs, squeezing into skin-tight Lycra, and choosing to ride a pedal powered vehicle to work in traffic! I digress…
So what is it about riding a single-speed bike that appeals?
