Why have "fixies" suddenly become so popular?
)
June 9th, 2009
Back in my biking days, fixed-speed bikes were only for track use, where speeds are constant and the banking allows you to turn without catching a pedal. It seems to me that cities would be a terrible environment for fixies: constant stops and starts and lots of sharp cornering. And then there’s the lack of brakes around pedestrians.
Is this just some hard-core-purist-urban-chic image thing, or am I overlooking some real practical advantage?
