It always was a fixed wheel since when I started riding them back in the 80s
in fact (obscure claim to fame) I wrote to Chambers Dictionary to correct their incorrect 1983 defenition of a fixed wheel
(fixed-wheel bicycle a gearless bicycle in which one revolution of the pedals produces one revolution of the wheels) ha!
got a very polite reply and the next edition was corrected
no mention of fixed gear though...
