You might call it a modern craze but fixed-gear biking stems back to the inception of bikes, effectively removing all the modern innovations of gear systems and freewheeling. By removing not strictly needed parts these bikes become lightweight which is said to give you more control over the riding. Couriers cycling in big cities have long used them to get from a to b but now the youth has taken them into a movement almost mimicking that of the modified car 5-10 years ago, stripping them down, rebuilding them with modified or new parts, painting them fantastic colours and styling them how they want.

You can buy fixed gear bikes at your local bike shop (probably) but they might call them single-speed’s or track bikes. You will likely have seen them on the olympics but if you watch the above video you will see they are used far from this original intended arena. Swamping the worlds cities – fixed gear biking is set to be the next big 2 wheeled phenominon. Watch out for them in a city near you, they tend to skid in an almost downhill slalom way instead of breaking (as if you stop pedalling that is effectively breaking with the rear wheel!

This years Orllwyn Teifi Vintage Show marked the 20th year of the events running and was an excellent weekend for all, despite the unhelpful weather conditions the show continued to run where possible and was visited by a huge number of spectators and show participants.

Wheels-Near-U was there for the whole weekend catching all of the action as it happened, we would like to thank the organisers including Derrick Davies for an excellently clean and well serviced site and for a fair few tows’ in and through the mud!

As per last year you can see all of the Orllwyn Teifi Vintage Rally Photographs in our Orllwyn Teifi Vintage Rally 2008 gallery and there is also a 2007 Orllwyn Rally gallery for those who want to look back on last years show!
