In bilico senza freni né cambi È la nuova bici-filosofia
Si chiama ruota fissa. Da mezzo alternativo a mania giovanile
MILANO - Girare per la città a bordo di una bicicletta che pesa meno di dieci chili, senza freni, o al massimo con quello anteriore, senza cambio, senza mai smettere di pedalare, soprattutto mai a vuoto, e senza mai mettere i piedi in terra, sembra una cosa da aspiranti suicidi. Invece è una filosofia di vita. Si chiama «bicicletta a ruota fissa» ed è l' ultima frontiera della bici estrema per uso urbano. Gli appassionati aumentano anche if it is not mass produced. There is built by themselves using the frames of old two-wheel or do you assemble and customize specialized workshops up spending a thousand euro. In the U.S., home of the "fixed gear", the phenomenon is becoming large enough that the New York Times has devoted extensive coverage to such a curious bicycle traffic dribbling the Big Apple with casual snobbery. And in Japan, sniffed the business, Nike has done an advertising campaign. In Italy, the first models of wheel sets have started circulating a few years ago to 'internal movement Critical Mass, cyclists antagonists that periodically, for one night, occupy the streets of major cities. It is a means counter, the result of "deconstruction of bikes," as stated on the website movimentofisso.it point d 'meeting and reflection for the connoisseurs of the genre.
