i cant keep up with fixie fashion anymore.
what am i looking at here? it just looks like a normal bike?
The "handlebar" isn't a handlebar, but a seat post lol
The handlebar is a seatpost. See that thing on the right of it? That's where you'd attach a saddle
Not sure what the others are talking about. This looks like a normal bike to me as well? Maybe it’s different in their respective regions?
Posts that land well in Brooklyn 2010 and nowhere else
Take a seat post, get a handle on yourself.
I always get bullied for my fixie but it's just incredibly flat here and I have literally no reason to ever shift.
I down shift every time I slow down. Accelerating up to speed is easier and faster. And my gear ratio is higher than what would be practical on a fixie, meaning my top speed is higher.
Still, there is something to say for the simplicity of a fixie
I don't get the hate tbh, I'm nervous to ever ride one myself but you can get going SO FAST, and they're cheap and easy to maintain. I think people used to hate on brakeless ones as a hipster thing tho. I used to ride a single speed and had someone yell at me from their car something stupid because they thought it was fixed lol.
