Fixed-gear bikes, or ‘fixies’, are bikes without a freewheel, meaning they are unable to coast and the pedals are always moving while the bike is in motion. This means that the bikes are extremely simple and undecorated, and require very little maintenance, but it also means that these bikes have no brakes at all. To be able to ride a fixie, you need to be in a constant state of concentration, following the flow of the traffic, anticipating every little change up to hundreds of meters ahead.
