Fixed Gear Bicycle Gallery Contest
December 11, 2007
Fixed gear bicycles are starting to appear everywhere nowadays. For a while I could not understand what the infatuation is with fixed gears.

There is a contest running right now over at Fixed Gear Bike Gallery . You can simply submit your picture and if it gets chosen it will be featured as the bike of the week. For those of you who are not riding fixed gear bikes right now here are my top five reasons to ride a fixed gear bicycle :
I know what you mean. They’re everywhere. And they even have a website that they can all join together and show off their bikes. I think it’s http://www.thefixedgeargallery.com but I’m not sure. I just see them all over the place. almost hit one on the road the other day. oh well.
