My plan is to make this thing a bit lighter by removing lights and the carrier, maybe replace the saddle and the metal pedals. Any other ideas on how to reduce weight on this thing?

Fixed gears are fun bikes as well as being pretty trendy, so I'll address both the cultural context that makes them popular and the experience of riding one.

There were popularized by bike messengers, a few of whom started riding fixed gear bikes because they require almost no maintenance - you can ride through the New York winter without cleaning road grit out of your derailleur - and because they provide increased control in the sort of gridlock conditions they often ride in.

Now, bike messengers are cool: they're a very visible counterculture presence in urban downtowns, flying in the face of the "suits" that work there. They represent freedom, working outside all day and darting past everybody stuck in cars. They're "hardcore" -- they work through the winter, they're extremely fit, and, to the untrained eye, they ride like kamikazes. They put on dangerous illegal races through the city and they wear punkish clothes.

Messenger culture became increasingly visible through the fashion world adopting their look (c.f. messenger bags) and films like Mash SF and Macaframa, leading to lots of people wanting to emulate the lifestyle - fixed gear riding is becoming the subcultural equivalent of skateboarding in the 80s, an excuse to hang out outside with friends, a sport embedded in the urban environment.

Messengers aside, the bikes themselves are cool. The most prized fixed gears are vintage track bikes, built by small shops for Italian or Japanese velodrome racers. These are unique and "authentic", both of which are highly valued attributes in hipster culture, and are seen as an antidote to the high-tech, mass-manufactured world of modern road biking.

The absence of brakes makes them more dangerous, which is "badass" via "not giving a damn" (though it's less dangerous than it sounds). And the absence of any additional components is appealing to minimalists and gives them a very streamlined look that many people find beautiful.

>>8014219

Ultimately, though, explaining the appeal of fixed gear bikes as fashion accessories does them a disservice -- people have been riding them for decades because THEY'RE FUN TO RIDE, despite the impracticality.

The reason is not easy to explain -- it comes down to the subjective experience of it after a few days of practice. People like driving manual cars for a roughly similar reason. Because of the lack of coasting, your legs always move in perfect conjunction with the bike: instead of feeling like you're on a vehicle, you feel connected to the ground, like you're on some sort of high-tech stilts. Slowing down your legs slows you down, speeding them up speeds you up; this removal of a layer of abstraction and mechanical complexity results in an experience that feels seductively pure.

this part I'll never understand. I am a bike messenger, I work my ass off and it's a grim job. I earn on comission, have no insurance, healthcare or job stability. I deal with angry cagers 6 hours a day. it's not glamorous at all, it ain't no fucking "counterculture".
also by virtue of needing to somewhat mantain a tempo, the virtues of lacking gears and brakes are almost marginal. I'll keep my extra 2kg, tyvm. grease your chain and bearings once a week and you're done.

and by the way: a lot more grit builds up in the wheel clearances than in the derailleur

gayest shit I've read all week, this has to be a troll post.
you're not a bike messenger, some suburban kid who looks out the window more than he leaves his room.
fuck me, when the word 'culture' and 'fixed gear' comes up in the same sentence, or the same paragraph, I can't help but get a little riled, and then throwing 'counterculture' to make matters worse.

>The absence of brakes makes them more dangerous, which is "badass" via "not giving a damn"

sounds like you write tutorials for reddit, seriously stop examining shit. you want badass? stop splitting hairs and get a motorcycle. nobody's going to say 'whoa is that guy seriously driving a fixie? thats dangerous!'

my dream bike would probably be a rivendell sam hillborne or something similar.

i guess touring bikes are like the dorky american heritage of cycling. i like the utility and comfort of my surly long haul trucker : 3

CantStopDontWantTo xD lel!

if you pedal backwards you can block and make the rear wheel skid which both severely shortens the useful life of the tire and makes its surface irregular. this makes it flat prone and wobbly to ride on. there's absolutely no reason to go brakeless outside the track
