Fixed-gear bicycle
A fixed-gear bicycle or fixed wheel bicycle is a bicycle without the ability to coast. The sprocket is screwed directly on to the hub and there is no freewheel mechanism. A reverse-threaded lockring is usually fitted to prevent the sprocket from unscrewing. Whenever the rear wheel is turning, the pedals turn in the same direction. By resisting the rotation of the pedals, a rider can slow the bike to a stop without the aid of a brake. Stopping is sometimes known as "skidding" in the fixed gear world. Skidding occurs when the rider opposes the pedals' movement hard enough to halt the rear wheel's rotation. A fixed gear bicycle can also be ridden in reverse. -
