Velo City: Bicycle Culture and City Life

Fixie bikes, also known as fixed gear bikes, have gained popularity in recent years among urban cyclists and enthusiasts. These bikes are minimalistic, lightweight, and offer a unique riding experience that cannot be replicated by traditional geared bikes. As a result, fixie bikes have become a sought-after item for both casual and professional riders alike.

With their simple design and lack of gears, fixie bikes offer a more direct connection between rider and bike, allowing for greater control and responsiveness. And because they have fewer moving parts, they require less maintenance than traditional geared bikes.

But fixie bikes aren’t just practical – they’re also stylish. Customizable options often include frame color, handlebars, and wheels, so you can create a bike that reflects your personal style.
