Seriously, why are there so many damn good fixed gear videos floating around the web? I can’t get enough of them.

And also, biking on the roof looks like fun!

Here’s the trailer/teaser for Empire, an upcoming film release about riding track bikes and fixed gear bicycles in New York City.

If the film is anywhere near as exciting as this teaser, then I cannot wait for it to be finished!

Robert Wechsler, a graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara, puts a new spin on the meaning of riding around in circles.

In this 2003 project, Wechsler constructs a carousel out of 9 salvaged bikes. The result is a somewhat portable carousel capable of fitting 9 people for a ride…to nowhere. This looks like fun!

Here’s a link to another one of his projects where he made a circle by following the natural curve in a line of shopping carts.

Thanks Jean!
