A Day with Fixed Gear

I asked my friend to take vidéos whit ma stuff: canon 7d with 3 lens: 10-22 efs 3.5, 28 70 2.8 ef and 50mm 1.4 ef. It was the first time I use After effects... a good start I think. Filmed at Laval
j'ai demandé a mon ami de me filmer avec mon équipement: canon 7d avec 3 lentilles: 10-22 efs 3.5, 28 70 2.8 ef and 50mm 1.4 ef. C'était la première fois que j'utilisais after effects... bon départ je pense. filmé à Laval!

I had so much fun taking the brakes off of my bike that I'm thinking about doing the same to my car.

[@afreshreaction]

I just finished building my fixie under $100. Got a free fixie body frame, painted it matte black, replaced the chains and took out all the brake lines and it's so nice. I can't wait for biking weather.

[@MrYoucandyass]

It's like Road Bike Party, except Road Bike Party is good.

[@johnnyc.3261]

A short film about coming out of the closet in small town america where he can't even afford clips for his fashion trend fixie.

[@ozzywoodz9237]

your right you need clips or foot cages for it to be a real fixie

[@Charlieswag9000]

Johnny Lotto hahah dude you are funny asf

[@jwb143]

Brakeless fixed gear with no foot retention, fucking brilliant.

[@socalisik]

i usually dont comment... but.. this is a nice vid man... good stuff...

[@codyduncandude]

All shot on Canon, and a short about fixies? Yes, word.

[@KidOnTheMoon101]

YES THE KOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jt0308]

brakeless and no clips? your life would be a lot easier if you fitted some, safer too.

[@JEDIhazard]

thought the same here too.

[@jgutierrez8174]

Cool fixe and cool guy

[@geizianefellipe6113]

Vídeo de muito bom gosto! ❤

[@ramoftherose]

You guys have any tips going downhill on fixed?

[@jdawg4334]

cool vid. :]

[@megafixierider]

it looks you had a whole mess of fun not worrying about any shit just plain fun

[@Justinnei707]

clean bike

[@secrethumanmachine]

2 days ago I got in an accident on my fixed gear, I smashed my face on glass cause a truck unexpectedly backed up, and I had no time to stop, I have stitches on one side of my face and I can't ride for a while. For those riding fixed gear bikes, stay safe out there. I just can't wait to get back on my bike

[@jpywxv]

Excellent video! Undoubtedly one of my favorites on KZbin. I've past this on to several friends. Great tune, beautiful scenery, sick bike! Well done. What is your gear ratio?

[@jirivorobel942]

Screw the haters. The video is well made and I honestly enjoyed watching you have a lot of fun with your new toy. And I'm pretty sure you got your technique (controlled skids with feet firmly in pedals, smooth straight lines without wobbling) and chain tension sorted out by now and you don't need youtube comments to know whether straps are good, bad or gay*. There are few videos as encouraging as yours - it shows that you can have fun even at the beginning of the learning curve. Thanks for that.

[@iTzarvinhaha]

sick vid haha

[@jorgeivan1289]

cool!! =)

[@Jakerski]

i love this song! ^^

[@jake5590]

Videography was amazing. the tricks could be better, but I liked the video :)

[@EnjoyCalculus]

Nice bike.

[@DTS1300]

It's kind of a safety thing if you want one. Make sure if you get a fixed gear hub that you get a decent one. When I was learning I used a front brake thankfully cause I blew my hub out and wouldn't have been able to stop without the brake. Now that I invested some money and got a decent hub I'm brakeless and feel safe.

[@damsoner]

The ol' no brakes + no foot retention combo. Makes for one sad excuse for a bike...

[@Musicmixer1994]

I seen fixies with brakes, is that bad? aha I wanna get my first fixie before summer ends. Any online shops you recommend?

[@thefutureweb]

@Ray1y Yes it is true, my chain is a bit too loose, I need to ajust my wheel... I bought a old raleigh, I cut all things I don't need for a fixed gear like littles ''pins'' for shifter, etc.. A bought wheels on ebay and I found a old shimano 600 crank, perfect for that! So around 700$

[@yaawra]

@thefutureweb oh nice, I noticed thats a road frame, how'd you get a fork with that clearance?

[@alaminkhandakar453]

nice bro,,,,

[@StampedeFilms]

Nice

[@vision57]

your dads gonna be pissed you took his favorite sweater

[@thefutureweb]

That it!! really thanks man!

[@TheWheelLifeChad]

Where is this? Freaking awesome scenery!

[@Mikenopolis]

I hate straps because I often end up trying to flip the pedal right side up since the strap side is down.

[@pumpdejam]

love bmx but respect fixie

[@vominhat3158]

♥️

[@crayez4441]

Hey im not trying to hate on fixie bikes, honestly think if you like what you are doing, then keep on doing it! But what's good about fixies? Low maintenance? Being able to skid without using brakes?

[@knarfaroo]

I was scared of that too before getting cage straps. Just don't tighten the straps as much, and you'll find it easy to slip in and out of them.

[@thefutureweb]

I also have a unicycle.. It's the same idea for sure, but it's not really the same thing cause the "rang" .. ( gear ratio) change the feeling!!

[@MrVendorist]

Where is this being filmed? Very nice scenery

[@mogyesz225]

Did you use some color correction, or preset, and what it's called? :)

[@thefutureweb]

@jipidoudou LA pluie ne devrait pas t'arrêter!!! ;)

[@MrTchupam]

i imagine myself falling with footstraps xd

[@Xcokedav096]

Where was this this filmed? Pretty scenery!

[@UnclipTV]

@WeAreeWe it's not the chain, it's a bunch of different parts. It's mainly the rear hub and the lockring That why it's called a fixed gear.

[@Brotherh00d]

Got a fixie 'cause i need neither a road bike nor a mountain bike. Furthermore, it's cheap, light and looks good. They came with brakes and stand, optional for me to remove them. So why not? It's almost like a NORMAL bike that's able to fulfill my need to get from point A to B. Fixed gear bikes usually comes with something called flip-flop hub at the back wheel so we can still transform the fixie into a single speed bike. Wanna know what's the real Hipster bike? Flying Pigeon is.

[@AppalachiaDreamin]

Un écureuil noir!!! :)

[@ronaldogomez3459]

What kind of bike is that and how much was it ?

[@eFatheree]

Is it essential in the fixed community to have track dropouts? For a lot of us, an old road bike frame is much more affordable than purchasing a new track frame, but we still enjoy riding fixed. I don't understand all the hate on here; I ride fixed because it is fun and more of a workout than riding a geared bicycle. It's great for commuting. I don't understand the animosity between fixed and geared riders. I personally would love a geared bike for longer rides, and to keep my fixed for commutes

[@skaterguitarist28]

Straps so you can sitdown skid on those leaves ;D!!

[@aaronjeffries7172]

You can put brakes on fixies especially for the front wheel if you want to. But you don't need to.

[@andydoanishere]

No foot retention nor brakes. Holy crap, how do you stop quick enough?

[@ParkwayDrive505]

What's the point of a fixed gear bike? I like the way most of them look, it just seems like a hastle to always have to pedal.

[@spitt0110]

every youtube vid i see with fixies always has hate? i have both geared and fixies and love them both.

[@seximexiwrestler]

Last year I had just started riding fixed and I hit a car, ended up falling right on the top of my head and broke my neck. (C5) No permanent damage as soon as I got out of that neck brace, I got back on the bike. Won't lie I was really nervous.

[@TheCrystalEdits]

Well he has no hills to go down and the streets are clear haha.

[@rod3067]

That seems to be a lovely place to be, is it canada?

[@JKgaulin]

Un des rare québecois qui ride en fixed :D

[@JJMac]

1:43 Squirrel goes into trash can. :D

[@ThunderMan88]

I cant ride these in an urban environment.You need to break fast in case of a car cuts your way.Not to mention you cant take sharp turns at high speeds because the pedals keep spinning and youll hit the ground.

[@yaawra]

What kind of wheelset are you using?

[@thefutureweb]

@pjlurker420 It was the first goal of my video!! thanks for your comment! very appreciated!

[@ChrisCainLaw]

The coolest thing you can do on a fixie is to go fast.

[@chokoboul]

Sympa cette petite vidéo. Ça bouge bien la scène fixie à Laval ?

[@greattechreviews]

@mattperry95 false the direct drive of a track bike makes the rider more in controlled it also increases your momentum therefore going faster

[@guitarboy202]

what you do in AE?
