"A fixed-gear bicycle or fixed wheel bicycle, is a bicycle without the ability to coast. The sprocket is screwed directly on to the hub and there is no freewheel mechanism. A reverse-thread lockring is usually fitted to prevent the sprocket from unscrewing.[1] Whenever the rear wheel is turning, the pedals turn in the same direction.[2] By resisting the rotation of the pedals, a rider can slow the bike to a stop, without the aid of a brake.[1]"
Its fun, get out and try one!
This is fixed gear and bicycle related things in the Houston Area. I will be posting news, videos, and photos of bicycles and fixed gears. Keep a open mind! If you want something to be posted such as bike rides or anything that fits in this category, email me at seclusionisbliss@gmail.com
