Fixed gears and single speed bikes are close cousins in the cycling world, except one cousin dropped out of high school, is covered in tattoos, and drinks a concerning amount of cheap beer; and the other cousin signs up for 8:00 AM classes at the local state college on purpose. Fixed gear is the "cool" cousin and single speed is the "successful" cousin, and they both have their pros and cons that will appeal to different types of riders. Find out which one is right for you and whether you should ride a fixed gear vs. a single speed bike.
