The fixed gear phenomena is here, and for the time being is getting stronger. As I get asked everyday- How do you ride without brakes? I’m not going to explain the mechanics behind the fixed gear system, but to some it’s just not practical. Practicalities aside- The look of a cable-free, shifter-free, brake-free fixie is just cool. It’s clean, simple, and looks easy. These five free-coasters show you how fixie form, and freewheel/coaster brake function can make a fly ride for you’re cool summer rides.
