Gears are for pussies.  While you’re shifting up three gears from standing start to top speed, I’m already 50 feet ahead of you.  One turn of the crank on my bike, and you’re in my dust.  Why?  I’ve only got one speed– fast.  This Fixed Fenomenon is growing by every turn of that single-speed crank.  It is cycling at its purest, it is performance at its best, and counter car culture at its most defiant.  If you want to ride, you absolutely must try it fixed.

Fixed is a new magazine, launched just this past week, for fixed-gear enthusiasts by fixed-gear enthusiasts and serves as both an insider’s playground and an outsider’s peek into the culture from a global perspective. The magazine will be available at select stores, but you can download the first issue free of charge here.
