Fixie 101

I found this post (which I found entertaining to read) that does a pretty good job of explaining fixed-gear bikes (aka fixies). It goes over some of the things you need to consider when purchasing one (because apparently, like minimal shoes, you might want to consider transitioning from "normal" bike to a fixie with a single-speed) and reviews six or so models.

Anyways... we are trying to plan a Fixie Festival for sometime in October to benefit the E3 Project. This event will hopefully be paired with a Cross Country Race (the results and some pictures from last year's race can be found in the righthand column of the blog) and some other fun events. Soooooooo... if you're interested in helping us out with some of the logistics, that would be super awesome!
