Fixed on fixed

As we've said before, we're not really into fixies or single-speeds but this film made us want to go back to Australia and just ride our bicycles all day long. In this film we meet five women, who all ride fixed-gear bicycles. Riding a bicycle with no means to brake but to lock your back wheel (one of them has a front brake, though) and those narrow handlebars is not for us, but these women make it seem almost effortless and relaxed. And we appreciate so much of what they are saying - becoming one with your bicycle, taking early morning rides through the city, just hanging out with your friends...

Director Raechel Harding has made a great little (it's only 9:48 minutes long) film, with these cool women riding their good-looking bikes (yeah, we have to admit that) in beautiful cityscapes. Beautifully captured and with a relaxed soundtrack. Awesome.

(This picture was of course not taken by us, but downloaded from vimeo.com. Hope that's OK!)
