Fixed-gear cycling

Fixed-gear cycling, commonly known as "fixie," involves riding a bicycle with a single gear that is directly connected to the pedals. This means that when the bike is in motion, the pedals move continuously with the wheels—if the bike rolls forward, the pedals turn, and if you want to slow down, you can resist the motion without using brakes. Fixed-gear bikes are popular for their simplicity, lightweight design, and efficient power transfer. Many riders enjoy the challenge and responsiveness of handling a fixie, especially in urban environments.
