Yes you will! When your Funked Up Fixie arrives you can set it up either fixed gear or single speed- it's your choice!
If you set it fixed gear, there are a few things to note:
Riding FIXED GEAR BICYCLES requires a different kind of approach. The fixed gear does not allow you to coast. In fact, going downhill can be hard work. The cog on the rear wheel is bolted directly the hub so that your pedals must go at the same speed as your rear wheel. This also means your pedals can be used to slow down the bike, and the ability to pedal backwards make the impressive ‘track stand’ you sometimes see bicycle messengers do when the traffic lights are red. It also works your legs in new ways so you will get fitter and stronger, quicker! So to sum up, riding a fixie takes a bit of getting used to! If you are new to Fixies, we recommend mastering the single speed first and moving slowly to fixed gear. At Funked up Fixies, all our bikes have Flip Flop hubs so are ideally placed to do just this! Start with Single Speed and move to fixed whenever you feel ready! :) You’ll also find out exactly how to master riding fixed gear right here at funkedupfixies.com over in our community section.
