Bought a second hand road bike about 12 months ago now, always ridden BMX's before and didnt really ever bother shifting gears so pulled em all off and rode it single speed for a few months. Then decided it was time to go fixed and the rest is history. For me riding fixed is really similar feeling to basic skateboarding. Ive always just enjoyed a laid back street style of skating kinda gonz esque and get the same feeling weaving through traffic in town. Plus fixed wheel skids are basically 4 wheel powerslides to me, the best skateboarding trick ever!!
