Fixed Gear....

This is a promo for a new film that looks at San Fran's FIXED GEAR bike scene. F.G bikes are basically modified track bikes (no brakes) that are used on the street. To slow down, the rider has to place pressure on the pedals that unlike normal bikes don't coast, always spinning. I had a go on one of these babies a while back and they are very hard to ride. Very popular in the states and getting a following in OZ from the bike courier contingent and beyond. There is a very developed fashion and scene surrounding these bikes...
