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 often are people going to make this mistake!!!

A direct drive bike that lacks gears CANNOT be a fixed gear since there is no gear to be fixed.
