1. Uses
A track bicycle or track bike is a form of fixed-gear bicycle optimized
for racing at a velodrome or at an outdoor track. Some road racing
and club cyclists used a fixed-gear bicycle for training during the
winter months, generally using a relatively low gear ratio, believed to
help develop a good pedalling style. In the UK until the 1950s it was
common for riders to use fixed-gear bicycles for time trials. The 1959
British 25 mile time trial championship was won by Alf Engers with a
competition record of 55 minutes 11 seconds, riding an 84 inch fixed-
gear bicycle. The fixed-gear was also commonly used, and continues
to be used in the end of season hill climb races in the autumn. A
typical club men's fixed-gear machine would have been a
"road/path" or "road/track" cycle. In the era when most riders only
had one cycle, the same bike when stripped down and fitted with
racing wheels was used for road time trials and track racing, and
when fitted with mudguards (fenders) and a bag, it was used for club
runs, touring and winter training. By the 1960s, multi-gear derailleurs
had become the norm and riding fixed-gear bicylces on the road
declined over the next few decades. Recent[dated info] years have
seen renewed interest and increased popularity of fixed-gear cycling.
In urban North America and similar areas in other English-speaking
cities, fixed-gear bicycles have achieved significant popularity, with
the rise of discernible regional aesthetic preferences for finish and
design details.
Dedicated fixed-gear road bicycles are being produced in greater
numbers by established bicycle manufacturers. They are generally
2. low in price and characterized by relaxed road geometry, as opposed
to the steep geometry of track bicycles.
Fixed-gear bicycles are also used in cycle ball, bike polo and artistic
cycling. Bike messengers frequently use fixies due to their durability,
low maintenance, simplicity and ease[dubious – discuss].
A fixed-gear bicycle is particularly well suited for track stands, a
manoeuvre in which the bicycle can be held stationary, balanced
upright with the rider's feet on the pedals
