Kids today might not realize, there was a huge fad in the early to mid aughts for riding these bikes on the street despite being wildly impractical anywhere but the velodrome. We were converting everything we could into fixed gears, didn't matter what. Dad's old Motobecane, mountain bikes with vertical dropouts if we could get that elusive perfect chain length. I converted my toaster to a fixed gear.
No mate don't worry fixies have actually gained popularity the past couple of years! They have a good following by 15-25 year olds in Korea, Indonesia, parts of China and parts of the USA (mostly Chicago, NYC)
The clip pedals in the video were one of the first of its kind, they were very new back then and were only used for races like that where they can actually result in a better time at the end.
Ти шо,дурень?Яка расєя?!Епта!То Литва!расєя смокче!Сильна школа велоспорту була у балтів,та у союзі.Проте союз зараз-це утопія,як і руцький корабель...:)))
Yeah, really? To me it looks more aero than AUS one and therefore is better for the race. I even was thinking if it gave some benefit to the URS rider 🤔
