The Beijing fixed gear bicycle group started when Ines Brunn and Ben Cheong first rode together. They had both brought their fixies from overseas. In 2008 the "Beijing Fixed Gear" (北京死飞) group still had less than 10 riders. The group grew strongly in 2009 to at least 70 active urban cyclists.

The scene of fixed gear bike riders is now strongly growing in Beijing as well as other big cities in China, especially Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

Natooke arranges regular bike rides as well as events regarding fixed gear and single speed. We meet almost every weekend for a fixed gear bike ride somewhere around flat Beijing city starting from the Natooke bike shop. Sometimes we do just a short afternoon ride but other times we arrange longer rides with lunch or dinner together.

In warm weather we meet on weekday evenings for urban night rides. And we also meet for fixed gear hang-outs and doing some tricks on bicycles like skidding, track standing and wheelies.

Our Beijing Fixed Gear club is free and open to anybody. We would like to share the fun we have on fixed gear bicycles with other people!

If you want to be informed about what is going on in the ever growing fixed gear community in Beijing then please subscribe to our fixed gear mailing list on the left column.

If you do not have a fixed gear bike yet - then contact us! We have fixed gear bikes for trial and will soon have more built up for rent. Hope to see you come out and ride with us.
