FIXED is the first book to document global fixed-gear culture. It joins the dots between the bike’s design, its racing heritage and the customization that marks its appearance on our city streets. It meets the track stars, tricksters, messengers, hill bombers and polo players the world over, linking them to the artists, designers and framebuilders whom the bike has inspired.
It tells the story of why these bikes are special through interview, image and archive – exploring the form, function, style and culture at the heart of the obsession.
Long used in the velodrome, they were adopted by New York cycle messengers in the 1970s, and are now seen on city streets worldwide. A global fixed-gear culture has come into being.
I’m proud to say it’s now available to buy from all good bookstores, and available from amazon here
of course!
There’s a blog on the FIXED site which contains a few more of my bike-related bloggingss
