Fixed Gear

From WikiPedalia

A rear hub in which the sprocket is rigidly connected to the hub, without a freewheel.

See the entry on "Track Hubs" for details.

The pedals of a fixed-gear bicycle revolve whenever the rear wheel turns; coasting is impossible. This type of gearing is usually associated with track racing. See my article on fixed-gears.
