Fixed2_promo.jpgNew fixed vid from Charge - watch it here!
Fixed 2 is the latest video from Charge bikes. The film follows fixed gear riders Juliet Elliot and Super Ted around the streets of London intercut with interviews with Juliet talking about the London fixed scene and what attracted her to riding without a freewheel in the first place*.
Anyway it's a cool vid really well shot and put together by Alex Rankin that gives those of us living outside of London a taste of a scene we might not hear much about. It isn't trying to be cool either which is a mighty plus - both the stars fall off attempting tricks - mastering the bike is what it is all about as Juliet explains, and if you have to fall off a few times first - so be it.
It's well worth a look so check it out for yourself in the embed below or at Chargebikes.com and it's also available as a download on iTunes.
*it was fiddling with her gears. (We didn't say it was going to be a big surprise did we?)

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
