PRODUCT REVIEW: PURE FIX FIXED GEAR/SINGLE SPEED BIKES, IF IT AIN’T FIXED, ITS BROKEN
I remember the first time I saw the movie Premium Rush, I was left completely fascinated by the idea of riding a fixed gear bike.

DOLCE SWEET BEGINNINGS: RIDING A WOMAN SPECIFIC BICYCLE
Kicked about riding a women’s specific bike after having ridden for a year on a MAN bike! 13 months ago on a warm morning I did a massive climb, a climb wait for it…. on the intermediate ring road flyover! Every pedal stroke was an added curse as Prem pushed me to go over and past that flyover! That was …
