Why I don't ride a fixed gear bike




I admit, I have always been attracted by the look of a fixie, so sleek and simple, easy to maintain, quiet and zen. BUT ;) freewheeling down a big hill, taking in your surroundings and taking a deep breath before trying to catch up with your speed is too much to give up for me. Therefore I will keep adjusting my gears and greasing my freewheeling, fun, speedy and just right complicated road bike.

And if I ever want to hang a bike on my wall for some oohs and aahs, I'll save the fixie for that.
