The Tarck Bike is a commonly found variant of the Track bicycle or Fixed-gear bicycle. Unlike true racing bikes used for track cycling races, the Tarck Bike was formed as a collaboration or "collabo" between bicycle messengers, hip-hop fashion designers, fixed-gear enthusiasts, former BMX riders, and members of national and regional cycling-related internet forums. The Tarck Bike gets its name from the common, lolcat-esque misspelling of Track Bike and references this online collaboration.
