I have a retarded question about fixed gear bikes...you just pedal backwards or stop pedaling to stop, right? just like kids' bikes?
- you can't actually pedal backwards on a fixie. you use your legs to stop/slow you downRoyBoyII
- no break....? should be banned... too dangerous....pango
- you can too pedal backwards.ornj
- you can pedal backwards from a standstill, but you can't be moving forward and pedal backwards. On a freewheel you can.brains

anybody know anything about that http://www.republicbike.com store? they have cool, light bikes (24 lbs) for $394, but are they any good? I commute on my old ten-speed but a flashy single speed could be cool to have.

has it ever occur to you fix bikers that it is really danger with no break?
- I'm sure its crossed their mind.sofakingbanned
- You still break by locking the back wheel.Ruffian
- Thats why some of us ride with a front brake! But I rarely use mine, it really isnt as hard as you think stopping with your legs!DesignedbyDave

Theres a strange sense of fulfillment that comes with riding a fixed gear bike, especially riding to work and flying past some fucker on his £2,000 multi geared racer, wearing all the lycra and shit, and your just happily spinning away in your jeans, in the only gear you've got!
