Fixed Gear Bikes shipped to Belgium
In the 1960s, Belgian Eddy Merckx made a name for the sport of road racing, bringing the sleek style and grace of racers to the spotlight with his five Tour de France wins.
As the popularity of road racing grew, people began exploring the everyday use of the bicycle.
A new fixed gear culture soon followed, evolving from racing to one of variety and everyday accessibility.
As a cousin to the high maintenance, often expensive track bike, fixies are in contrast simple and elegant. These bikes are stripped to the bare requirements of pedaling, steering and rolling.
Bicycle messengers have adopted fixies as their main transportation, avoiding harrowing traffic on two wheels. Riders feel a deeper connection
to their bike as they use raw power to navigate and slow their momentum. With Big Shot Bikes you can customize your ride, and when you build one today you claim your spot in the growing single speed revolution.
