    I had one fixie bike when i was younger and it wasnt even a real fixie. It was an old huffy and i took the wheel from an old exercise bike that used the same chain and sproket setup bicycles use. Did some modifications and got the wheel to fit on the huffy. I raced people and won every time and they always said it was because i had a fixed back sprocket and that i was cheating.
    Ended up loosing that bike when i tried to walk it across a frozen bridge in kentucky during the ice storm of 2009. Slipped with the bike and since there was no guard rails i fell about 15 ft into a frozen creek below and i had no way to get it out and was freezing cold ready to get home. Walked about 2.5 miles home soaking wet and was completely frozen by the time i got home. Til this day i still miss that bike and would always love to have/make another just for the fun of it.
    Im into mountain biking now hitting trails and what not and own a trek 820 single track from 2013 as well as a few other bikes that are somewhat cheap. Id love to ride a fixie to get to and from work though. Once i get up and going i dont like to stop or slow down and in my city they have bike paths that are 15-20 miles long leading you to specific locations around town. No cars or traffic just smooth 10ft wide path for bikes and walkers only. A fixie would be perfect for it. Thanks for bringing back some good memories i forgot these style bikes existed. This is the first time ive thought about that style bike in 10+ years.

    Well, I *ENJOYED* *THAT*!.... Old roadie from the early 1980's here. We always had a fixed gear bike, - some old long dropout road frame, with a cog screwed on in place of the freewheel. Couldn't always use a lock nut, to keep a straight chain line. So we'd crank up the biggest hill, to tighten the cog down. Then, *FLY* down the other side, at like 150+ cadence. Every serious roadie-to-be had a fixie. For form, and for spin. Hey, if you can do 150+ cadence, and keep a smooth pedal stroke, well,....Yeah, I really liked the video, and c'mon, man, you gotta TRAIN on a FIXIE. Cat 1 fitness alone won't cut it. (He said *HIPSTER* *NASCAR*! LOL....)....KEEP UP the GOOD WORK!

      @Kleiner Helfer I agree, but UCI and the manufacters of bicycles setup the sport to allow mass commercials for different frames and tech. So having the same bikes would mean that UCI would have to provide those bikes from one or 2 manufactor. Track cycling is the closest it comes to having the same bikes, even then some mods and tech are allowed. Still good to see old school fixed gear!!
