My friends are all indie hipsters and they all have or are getting fixed gear bikes. I'm getting a bike, but i'm probaly getting a 12 speed or 10 speed vintage 80s bike... Why the sudden demand for fixed gear bikes? I would think it would be harder to get across the city and tougher to navigate in traffic... how is that funner???
 
That's for racing in a velodrome...those bikes come without brakes, it is not normal to ride them on the street...although with brakes fitted it is ok. Those bikes can go 60-70 under the right conditions...racing I mean.

I hit 78 going downhill at Noosa and I don't recommed it. Craig Walton did 96 downhill and some say he's done 100...he's the husband/coach of Olympic Gold winner Emma Snowshill.
