For those of our readers who are fixed gear fanatics or are interested in Austin’s fixed gear scene, we’d like to give a quick shout out to Austin fixed blog, ATXFixed. There’s great videos, pictures, and articles about all things fixed in Austin, Texas, and occasionally nationally.  This short movie by Austinite Arak Avakian is an example of some of the cool stuff you can find there.

We’d also like to let you know about two last minute events that didn’t make our weekly round up of Austin Bike Culture events. Of course, you can always check our comprehensive calendar of Austin Cycling Events any last minute editions or plan for events 6 months from now.

• On Sunday, you can join Aautbruac (Austin area united, trail bicycle riders un-able to coast) for some off-road fixed gear fun at noon at Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park, 12138 N Lamar Blvd. All are welcome. Only requirement is that your bike does not freewheel/coast.
• Later that same day will be the Sexy Sunday BMX/Fixed Session and Footdown Competition at 4 PM in front of the tower on the UT campus.

To get you ready for the Footdown Competition, watch this other video by Arak Avakian which show the evolution of fixed gear stunts, from the falling down stage to the flawless execution.
