Fixed On Fixed

Fixed On Fixed is a short film clip profiling five female bicycle riders and their love of riding fixed gear.
Riding fixed gear is not only about the bike but also the community that comes with it and this particular fixed gear community is a small, passionate collection of riders who all share a love of riding slightly differently from one another.
Fixed On Fixed profiles each rider, along with the group as a whole, to share their individual story and collective experience in what riding means to them.

    I'm surprised there's so much hate in the comments particularly from other riders. It really doesn't matter if you ride BMX, MTB, Road, Fixed or even a fucking motorbike we're all riders and on some level you can totally appreciate the feeling of being on two wheels. This video totally speaks to me and I completely understand how they feel. People are always looking for reasons to being other people down I mean FFS this is just a video about how much they like what they're doing, jeez.

    Exactly, I probably won't see any fixie riders saying bullshit in other videos from other riders, that's why they say on the video people are jealous, otherwise i can't understand that much hate.

    That feeling of control you get on a fixie is comparable and thus linked to the self consciousness you reach as you're doing it!! it brings you to a level of mental and physical control of your bike and-->as your own self that non-fixers asking "what do you find in fixie-riding?" can never understand......!!!!!! And for more you do it, the more you get hooked..

I still don't totally get the whole deal with fixed gear, but this makes me think maybe I should try it. I'm sure I have everything but the hub on hand...

    I don't like toe straps - people claim you have to have them. It's tough on the knees - very short rides at first. You can usually take the dish out of a wheel to center it better, for fixed gear use (I've read up on it at Sheldon Brown, but I bought my solution inexpensively, so didn't have to solve this). You're going to love it. May not take to it as a main thing, but it's way fun.

    I loved riding fixed as well, but I feel a large part of it is the community it attracts. At least in my experience, road biking is either racers who go really fast to the point where you almost vomit on rides because you're working so hard or older people who ride really slow.

    I ride fixed all over LA county and the I.E. and I love it mainly because I've got a fast bike that I can pound and repair if need be pretty cheaply. Sure if I had the cash to get and maintain a nice road bike I might but for where I'm at and commuting and enjoying the ride the fixed is a great choice. I'm not sure what my ratio is but it's great for climbing hills, pulling off the line and a slight uphill. Not the fastest on the downhill.

    In my opinion, running brakes defeats the purpose/functionality of a fixed gear. The whole point is to become one with the motions of the bike, and yes that includes stopping. Makes more sense to swap to a cassette and run all the braking power you wish to.
