Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

How I've never heard of this I have no idea. Short track dirt racing. On bicycles.

They are nerd bars similar to what US Flat Trackers use. Pulled back and angled down. It's all about the comfy wrist angle when leaned over sliding.
