The purest and simplest form of bicycle. "Fixies," usually adapted from an older (10 speed) road bike, use a single gear that is fixed directly to the back hub. Fixed-wheel bicycles do not allow the rider to coast, however, but force them to constantly pedal- making the "rider" more in touch with every move the bicycle makes. In order to stop a "fixie," one must perform a slide-stop- which involves strategic locking of ones legs. Some fixies have a front brake, but that detracts from the supposed simpleness of the bike. "Fixies" can be as much a piece of art as a functional and exciting bicycle.

A bicycle with a single gear and no brakes, the type that you used when you were fucking 8 years old.
Is said to be it's own "Sub-culture" but according to a hipster, everything they like is a sub-culture, and everything else is mainstream garbage.
Since it has no brakes, it has no business being on the actual road, and is usually used to ride around the neighborhood to make the user's hipster status higher than all the neighborhood kids.
Pretty soon, every single hipster douche/wannabe is gonna be riding this and believe it's so "indie."
