Renting fixed wheel bikes

Posted on
  • A few friends and I are going to compete in a Highlands Game competition on the w/end of 8-9 September. Does anyone know where we could rent a few fixed wheel bikes in London to take up with us for racing (entry model bikes would suffice)??

    (I've already tried Herne Hill velodrome)

    Cheers,

    Billy.

  • Thought the
    Highland games was all sporran flinging and haggis hurling?

  • Try Foffabikes.com - not sure you'll be allowed to take them out of London, and I'm not even sure that Foffa do fixed, but worth a shot.

  • Is this grass track? You might be better off getting some cheap old road conversions, from frames designed for 27" so you have space for grippier tyres.

  • boris bikes ? maybe get a bit of sponsorship for the ride

  • Gonna be tough to ride with fixed wheels... I'd consider getting fixed gear bikes maybe. Helpful, I know.

    What?

  • fixed wheel != fixed gear, according to runawayjim

  • fixed wheel =! fixed gear, according to runawayjim

    =! != !=

  • Fair play, edited.

  • =! != !=

    epic.

  • Rather than start a new thread, I thought this would be a good place to ask,

    Does anyone know if any of the cycle rental places in the New Forest hire out Single Speed bikes ?

  • If they don't you could always just, not change gear...

  • for going to highlands, why not just buy the cheapest most aweful thing going (£130-150?) use it, then stick it on ebay afterwards, will cost less than rental, a whole lot less faff and honestly can't see anyone renting out grasstrack bikes beyond their eyesight, its a niche of a niche!

  • My thinking was that as I was going to the New Forest, it would be a good opportunity to hire one for the day and see how I get on with it

    No, but there are free horses.
