If you didn't know, a fixed gear bicycle is a bike without a freewheel. Originally used primarily for track racing, they are also well-suited (with a front brake) for city and/or winter riding. My winter bike is a fixed gear.
There are a lot of tricks and stunts you can do only on a fixed gear bike, such as special braking techniques, cycling backwards, balancing without support (a "track stand") etc. Check out this video combining ballet techniques with fixed gear bike techniques. Cool!
