Bike shops are awesome. One day I will open my own. That’s my dream.
margins suck
Right! I love how they all feel different, yet all have people who give the vibe that they enjoy their jobs. I believe you will! ✨⚙️ A bike shop on wheels would be awesome. Never seen one
даааа) я тоже хочу такой открыть) и еще китайский чай там же продавать)
The bike shops look so cool, thanks for sharing the atmosphere ;) regarding the rizer bar - I like it, but I also like very much how your bike is looking right now 👍
Thank you! 😭 I went off and got it, and they're so perfect
Eighth Hour is dope. Ronnie’s the man.
I love these videos! Keep up the good work! They give me the same feeling I get when I go on my own cycling adventures
Thank you so much! 🙌
Thanks for the tour, enjoyed checking out the shops.
yay thanks!! 🙌
I'm 70 years old so I'm not into skateboarding but I love your fixed gear videos. I have a few bikes that I love but my favorite is my older steel Fuji track bike. I ride it single speed because I don't think these old legs would handle fixed gear, but there's something special about riding a light responsive one speed bike that is so enjoyable. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you so much! I will keep you in mind 🙌
Good luck on that alley cat Sarah! Let's gooooo! Those MKS cages are a legit score. 👍 You shred on a board too? Yes please. 😊
Thank you! 😊
heck yea pls do skateboarding vids as well & good luck for the race!!!
Thank you!! ♥️
Good luck, have fun, stay safe in that alleycat! I'm joining the group ride to the cafe so probably will not get to bump into you. Them toe cages look great!
I was going to do that ride! I hope you enjoyed the group ride! I hope they do more Saturday rides ⚙️✨
wishing you the best luck sarah! 😊 great toe cage! i hope i got 1 soon ☺️
yeah! upload some skateboarding videos 😉
Thank you so much ♥️
Good luck in the race tomorrow
Thank you! 😊
Good luck with your race, dear heart. Sure hope your family is proud of you.
Haha so sweet! Thank you ♥️
Great video, thank you for sharing. Good luck with the race. 🚲🙂
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!✨⚙️
Definitely want to see some skating! That clean boardslide was more than enough to get me stoked!
Yay thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback 🙌
So cool that you skateboard too 🤩
Thank you ♥️
Sarah dropped… of course ima watch. Good luck wit the race 🤞🏽💐💐
Thank you!!! Appreciate you! ♥️
That's is a cool looking rig that you have there, good luck at the race🎉🎉
Thanks!! 😊
First time watching and it’s pretty chill video I like the skateboard content too.
Yay, thank you so much!
The guys at Greenpoint in Nassau put 60 teeth on my front crank! Thanks its power ! 🚴💨💨💨
🙌
Good luck in the race !! Remember be alert 😭🔥
Thank you! 😊
Really excellent video! I loved the shots and the pace. I can't walk past a bike shop without going in. Pro tip is to give the strap one twist as you pass it through the pedal. It will stop the strap moving around when you pull it tight.
Thank you! I will give that a try! I appreciate it so much!
Yeah, I'm into skateboarding too. I'd like to see that as well as the bikes.
I only wish I was there. The place is so perfect for bikes and I could happily spend all day long cycling around.😁
Thank you so much! 😊
Fun video. Very nice.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! ⚙️✨
Wow all the mess on the bike paths smh! Yes love your story telling! Yes please! Include all of your talents
Ugh yeah! I am not a fan of NYC Bike paths
+ thank you! 😊
nice bike and i like the choice you made on the cages . skate or die kick ass on the race
Thank you so much! Appreciate it! 😊
I love bike shop videos! lol good luck on your race!!
Thanks! 😊
Yes .yes.yes . Love fixed gear. Love skateboarding clips. Love what’s happening here.
Yay, thank you! 😊
Single speed, fixed gear and bike shops are awesome. And the bike shops have a smell ...fantastic.
I love learning from people who work in bike shops. Everyone always seems to love what they do. Therapeutic job ✨⚙️thank you so much!
Give the those handlebars a whirl! I'm more of a mountain/gravel rider, but after making the switch to bars with solid rise and a lil sweep...I'm in love. Much more comfy and control..for me at least. Good luck with the race 🏁
I thought so! Especially for skidding around. They seem so comfy!
Thanks! 😊
the whole time I was like "why aren't they going to two seas"!? glad you got what you needed!
Lol! I always go there, and I peeked inside, and he seemed busy, so I went to check every other shop for support and still ended up in the same place. Two Seas always has what I need 🙌⚙️✨
Fixed gear and skateboarding? Best combo :D
I agree, that's what I live for! 😁 thank you!!
10/10
😭♥️
Saludos Sarah 🤙🏻🤘🏻
Hiiiii! 🤘⚙✨
Like, Subscribed!
Thank you!! ✨⚙️
Fun to see all those cool bike shops. Not gonna lie, I'm jealous you have not one but MANY cool shops within biking distance 😭 Good luck on the race!
Ah, I am grateful! How are your local bike shops?
The only one I can bike to has turned their focus just to new super high end racing bikes, so they often don't have what I need :-(. There's a better one further away, but I have to drive there... so I don't go often. Nothing like these look to be with lots of cool used bikes and parts!
Skateboarding👍 with Cycling👍 vlogs
yay, thanks! 😊
those gloves are sick as hell
Thanks! Super warm! Snowboarding gloves
@@FixedGearCycling brand name pls? i might cop them as well ha
look mad cool
@@feve6071 MKS Chrome Twin Deep Steel Toe Clips!
@ sorry I meant the gloves 🙈
Good luck on the alley cat run. And why not some skateboarding. I like the bike shops you show in videos as well. I be up in my in the summer I plan to shop and some bike shops and hope there is a bike sell or swap meet when I go
Thank you! 😊 Check out New York Bike Jumble during May 2025
Came here for bike content but skateboarding is cool and chill
If it's anything like the last clips
It'll be nice 🙂
That was the idea! Yay, thanks! 😊 Appreciate the feedback
Skateboarding vids would be cool. Hopefully it warms up soon
Right I miss the warm weather 💔
Hey Sarah!!! Love the POV of the bike shop/shopping... + the skateboarding footage. Question: What saddle is that on your Vendetta???? That ish is 🔥🔥🔥
thank you! 😊
Selle Italia Flite Bonnie saddle !
Skate stuff is cool with me! Glhf with the race.
Thank you! 😊
Adoro estas bicicletarias antigas....❤🚴
Thank you so much! 😊
@FixedGearCycling Thank you too...😘
🔥
⚙️✨🙌
Best wishes from Phoenix
Appreciate it so much! ♥️
MKS makes the best pedals 👌🏾
Right! the best! Chatgpt mentions the same lol
AI is whack tho
@@juanbonilla2793 Lol! It's useful sometimes if it's used by humans and not operated by robots
Quite nice, consider getting double straps for those cages later on, def more sturdy and hold shit down better, especially if u racing.
Thanks! Gotta order some new ones
I’d like to see how many concrete parks you have there as well as found spots 👌🏻
Yay! Thanks! That was the plan. Thank you for the feedback 🙌
Hope you do well on todays Cat, had straps and toe clips break on me before , I’m terrified of them ahaha, I’m using clipped spds now lol
Which do you recommend for clipped spds?
@ right now I’m using issi road SPD pedals and clips . Feel like they’re more comfortable in my opinion
Bro you 🛹 to thats totally 🔥
thank you so much!! 😊
Hello SR. I recommend the LOOK X-TRACK Pedals. They’re super durable and secure. But you’ll need to find a specific mountain shoe like Five Ten or Giro mountain bike shoes. They’re perfect for urban rides or long trips. You’ll never have to worry about damage again. Ride safe!
LOOK X-TRACK Pedals look so pretty! I love LOOK the brand. Love how they brand too. What shoes do you use? I am writing this one down! Thank you so much! ✨⚙️ Ride safe too!
@@FixedGearCyclingFor the shoe. I had Five ten, Bont. I always ride with mountain shoes everyday. You should try clipless padels. Wish to see around on the street.
@@araaenyc Thank you so much! I want to! Just always worried about clipping off
I have those exact same risers @ 4:55! They’re really comfortable and plenty stiff, well because they’ve steel. So they’re as stiff as the 31.8 aluminum but not as bulky and not as light. I also have another one cut to 420mm and I actually like those better.
What Nitto model are those? Looking to get ones too
They seem so comfortable!!! Did you have them cut? or kept them the size they come?
Nitto B259 CroMo Urban Riser handlebar !
@@FixedGearCycling
I have two of them, one is cut to 420 mm and the other isn’t. I like the cut one more because it’s easier to navigate through traffic. They’re comfortable and really stiff because they’re steel. I got them both for $5 each. How much were the ones you were looking at?
@@jayceinfinitealgharhythmns9814 Wow, what a deal! I didn't even ask since they weren't my size. But I doubt 5 dollars each! Might search on eBay to buy them used. Where did you find them for 5 dollars each?
MKS FOR LIFE!!!
The best!
Retrogression YNOT Straps 🤷🏻♂️
Wow, thank you so much! ♥️🥹 It feels like you just bought my toe cages! I appreciate it so much! You have no idea!
I love Retrogression! I think I am on it every week. They have the Nitto risers I want.
@ Towards more bike parts in general then. You finally got the quad lock too now I see! Lol Not sorry at all for being a bike nerd.🚲🤘🏼🤓
Film both!!
Yay, I appreciate your feedback!
Wow ~
Did somebody mention skating?
😀
It seems like your go to bike shop ended up having your clips.
But, you got to see what is out there.
I run Frog Speedplay pedals, since the ‘90’s.
I love your videos Sarah.
I try to give other bike shops a chance, but I always end up in Two Seas.
Wow, I never heard of Frog Speedplay pedals! What shoes do you wear for those pedals?
+ thank you so much! ♥️ I appreciate you so much!
@@FixedGearCycling I get two bolt spd MTB shoes. I use Giro gravel / road shoes.
Two bolt cleat on the bottom .
You can rotate / float some in these pedals, they are old school but a solid tool.
I ride a different style than you . More direct road miles, less city than you ride . And I do 20 mile minimum. Ride consistently 20 to 40 miles an outing. Three or four times a week.
@@wescheslak9408 My next bike would be a road bike. I would love to go on a long-distance trip across the States one day! That's so good to know. Thank you!
@@FixedGearCycling that is my dream. Ride across a state.
😀
Cool , here in England we call them CLIPS . I have MKS pedals and clips on my Viking fixed gear and Raleigh road bike and Voodoo gravel bike . A bit of a tip , point the loose end of the strap upwards so it's easier to give them a tug to tighten them while riding . I've subscribed , how did yo get on with the Alley Cat ?
I am going to start calling them clips-it sounds better. Thanks for the tip! I would love to cycle in England one day! What are your favorite areas to cycle?
You can get maps of cycle routes from Sustrans that cover England Scotland and Wales . There are no shortage of cycle routes in the countryside and towns and cities , the car drivers pose a hazard and show little respect to cyclists , yet in the rest of Europe it's a different story ! In Holland bikes rule the roost and have priority over cars ! How the Alley Cat race go ?
I think better to add another pair of toe strap as your mks one does have two holes. Normally I always prefer two straps. 😀
I plan to! I gotta order some since I did not see any around! Thank you! 😊
1:15 looks like homie saw the grudge
😂
Hell yeah 2seas is the one
The best!
👍🇨🇦👍
♥️⚙️✨
Skate away😁
♥️ Thank you!
Красивая рама велосипеда 👍
Thank you so much! ⚙️✨
Cuanto a crecido tu cabello,me encanta,te ves hermosa ❤
haha thanks!
where are your gloves from?
Crab Grab Five Gloves!
some of the old pedals had screw mounts so you didn't need the nuts and bolts. Campy nouvo record, back in the day... Looks like those might loosen up easier..
Thank you!! I just googled Campagnolo Pedals, and they look strong! It's expensive but so pretty!
Sarah where you get you gloves they dope??
Thank you! They are snowboarding gloves! Crab Grab Five Gloves
Risers on fixies look pretty sick. I wanted them on my own bike and just settled for the cheapest thing I could find. I've never used those toe clips before, do they make much of a difference? I personally get pretty motion sick from POV shots in the skating part, but if it were recorded on a tripod or something, it'd be pretty cool.
Toe clips help me position my feet, and for some reason, my knee has never hurt since I got them.
True might search for some Ritchey bars. Those are usually more reasonable prices.
True true, better position than the floor (skateboarding)! I appreciate your feedback. Thank you! 😊
@@FixedGearCycling You're welcome!
Have you tried clipless yet? I always felt way more comfortable with clipless than any cages or straps ever.
I got into toe cage so I could transition into clipless! Honestly, the fear of my shoes not clipping off is my fear. Which do you think you could recommend? Writing down a bunch of recommendation. Appreciate it! ⚙️✨
@@FixedGearCycling Get some time atac pedals and some decent shoes. There's lots of companies that have van like shoes with clipless set up. It's easy to twist out of them and they're way safer than cages IMO, I've been in worse accidents from slipping out of cages trying to stop too fast etc. Just go practice in a parking lot. Plus the amount of pull you can put on the pedal during the upstroke is worth it. I learned the hard way while playing bike polo on a fixie yeeears ago lol. I can't stand flats now, feel weird af on them.
The look at 5:38 is really cool. I recommend you to buy a microphone. So I can understand and hear much more.
Ah man! I will! sorry! Thank you 😓
@@FixedGearCycling Don't have to sorry. I really like your videos. These inspire me.
Do you not feel secure in the single strap black toe clips you had on the bike already?
Never mind I should have waited for the end of the video
Also yes to the skate videos! Haha
Don't mind me I'm just having a conversation with myself.
It broke! :( I was good, honestly, to not buy any more gear unless it was new handlebars. But sadly, practicing going fakie caused my cage to smack the ground too many times. I only got double straps cause its all they had! I was good to get the same ones. Never having a conversation with yourself! Appreciate you! ✨⚙️
😁
my bike! 6:38
omg is it really! Love the color! and stem! I just subbed to your channel! Hope you make more videos!
Очень красивый сетап !
Thank you so much! ⚙️✨
i raced the X-MEN back in the day ''
I've seen videos!! All those events inspired me to get into fixed gear
@FixedGearCycling 🚲 Kool 👍
lets see some ripping...
Yay thanks 🙌
360 x3 or x4?
X4!
Why don't you use clips?
I have been researching and do want to! I tried to get used to the feeling first with the toe cage. Which do you think you could recommend?
Your Favorite Sneakers will always feel more comfortable with Toe Cages. We used to call them
Rat Traps!
9:09 why not? Bring it on
Thank you! 😊
fuckin hate toe cages! fucked up and splintered my knee cap, light turned red and a car jumped on 6th ave and 54?, couldnt get my foot out quick enough, all my weight on my right knee cap. ouch. get bmx flat pedals, solid grip
Yikes! I hear so many stories.😭 But I love them over how they position my feet. I hope you recovered quickly!
@@FixedGearCycling thanks, that's very sweet. Still a bit flatter than the left one but still riding hard! Stay safe.
They sell wack ones I'm selling a njs ones but your going need some pedals
Hi!! Thank you so much! ♥️
7:00 not gonna do it. Im chill
7:40… where’s Sarah,skate or ride yes please
Thanks! Appreciate you! 😊
🚴♂️🛹💕
thank you! ♥️
Why a Single speed instead of a 6,7,9, speed rear cog? Is that not good for your city riding? Go ahead and do some skateboarding everybody loves some Bones Brigade!
sweety, add subtitles into video
Sorry! I will! I add it through TH-cam and it rarely works! I will add it manually
Ugh that first bike shop in the video looked like a place that would charge $20 for a latte, and $150 for some cages. I like greasy bike shops with shit everywhere and a heap of old used parts in the back. That second shop is cool!
