Fixed Gear 101: Tips and links
See the movie Quicksilver. Find a mentor who really knows this stuff. Ask the mechanics and staff at your local shop. Sometimes they are closet fixed riders! Visit the closest velodrome. Take a trip to a large city such as San Francisco, New York, or Philadelphia, where there are lots of folks who ride fixed on the street.
