Fixed Gear Bikes ... Really?

Well, I must admit that I haven't really ridden a fixed gear bike since my BMX days as a teenager. And, truth be told, I can see the potential of having this type of set-up in a flat-landers state like Florida.

However, there is NO WAY I would be caught dead with a fixed gear bike in any location that has a single bit of terrain. I would be toast. And any rider who tells you different is full of it ... in my not-so-humble opinion.

Never-the-less this bike is pretty sweet looking, and I love the design. I especially like the blue rubbers. And the frame kinda reminds me of the old Sekai bike my Dad donated to my cause back in my college days.

What do you think ... fixie or geared?

In Montana, I checked out a bike that was a single gear mountain bike. Mostly rode to work though. The bike looked sweet, very clean and geometric. However, the tires were 29 inch, and the front gear was very small. For off-road, I prefer a smaller frame like your GF.
