After a bit of research, I've decided that my next bicycle will definitely be a track bike. Lightweight and quick, track bikes have one fixed gear, which means the pedals are always in rotation. Unfortunately, it's considered old skool and hardcore to remove the brakes from them, and many are made now without any brakes at all. Luckily, some of them do. Why do this? It makes riding much more of a workout, basically. And then there's always street cred.
