NATOOKE : First Fixed Gear Bike Shop in China
Yes, here it is: The first bicycle shop in China focused on fixed gear bikes! The logo is a green banana and the name is NATOOKE.
This store is dedicated to urban cycling. You will not find a bike with gears in this shop, so no road bikes nor any mountain bikes. All bicycles are single speed and mainly have a fixed back wheel, meaning no ability to coast. Like the bikes used in the velodrome these are track bikes with horizontal dropouts in the back end of the frame to be able to adjust the chain tension. This is extremely suitable for cycling in the flat and nicely paved Beijing urban city. The shop has all the different parts required to build up a fixed gear bike like the fixed gear hubs, flipflop hubs, cogs, lock rings, rims, tires, seat posts, saddles, stems, handle bars, handle bar grips, chains, cranks, chain rings, pedals, cages, toe clips, straps… Each customer can chose what brand, what style and which color he prefers so that we can put together that one-of-a-kind unique bike.
This shop also has a huge selection on urban cycling accessories, like T-shirts, lights, bags, reflective bag covers, anti-pollution masks and other things related to cycling in the metropolitan areas.
The NATOOKE store is even more unique: It is the world’s first shop dedicated to fixed gear bikes and juggling equipment! You can find anything here around the topic of juggling: Different sizes, weights and colors of juggling balls, glow balls, contact balls, acrylics, juggling rings, juggling clubs, devil sticks, diabolos, poi, fire juggling equipment, staff, yo-yos, frisbees, rola bolas (also known as balancing boards) and many more fun toys to play with. This is the best juggling equipment that you can get in all of China. It is mainly imported from Europe.
This fixed gear bike and juggling store is located in the center of Beijing city in the trendy new hutong called Wudaoying. That is right next to the North Second Ring Road just West of the famous Lama Temple. There are 2 subway lines that have a station here as well as many bus lines. So if you do not yet have a bike you can easily come by using public transport. Here is a map of the location of the NATOOKE shop indicated by the small green banana:

Fixed Gear Booze? No shit brah!
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Actually this quote doesn't have anything to do with my post, just I kinda like that word. The world has gone wild since the WWII and some folks have been creatively done some normal stuff overboard. Think about this, fixed gear booze? I know those two really mixed in very well but fixed gear based beer? Crazy stuff ain't it? It ain't if you're familiar with the name Lakefront Brewery. Presenting...the Lakefront Fixed Gear American Red Ale! You should all give it a shot, make up your own mind, and ride a damn bike...

The Vuelo Velo “1″ Track Bike/Single Speed
This is what I call "Yummy!". Very aerodynamic with the classic touch. Vuelo Velo creates this intelligently designed track bike that will definitely gonna make those damn Lamborghini owners eyeballin' you. A very cool cut and clean shape. Take it from their quote "We can design a bike with you, for you."

This could be a good accessory for them fixed gear bike shop. It's a fucking beer tap! Complete with Oury Grips, you can comfortably pour your booze. I hope it's not Cinelli's or Nitto's coz if it is, it'll not gonna be in your shop long enough...
One of our good friends from the south... presenting Southernfixed!
The south is the place I grew up, and it always gave me those good childhood memories. Since I've left the south the past 10 years, I've never knew there was a fixed gear wave goin up high over there. But these dudes...are dope! Thanks to my long lost friend Dura (named after Dura Ace, I think! lol! ) for these wonderful videos...3 thumbs up!

The 2 most important "dont's" in fixed gear!
The first dont's is not to wear super tight skinny jeans. If you don't wanna break your balls during cycling, this is what you don't wear. Its hideous, its ugly and its painful. How can he fit into that? Uurrgghh!
The second don't is not to pose and dress like this for a photo shoot! 'Nuff said!

Antique Trickster!
I'm not sure this pic is legit or not but this is damn nice! Maybe I should call it "The Day They Created The Fixed Gear Tricks!" pic! Just take a look at the face. So calm and steady...
A fixed gear tandem
Love this tandem, seriously! I'm not sure whether you can skid on it or not but this bike is sick! It originally came with Campagnolo Nuovo Record parts but the current owner had equipped it with a 165 mm Shimano 105 cranks with Biospace chainrings and geared with a 52/18 drivetrain! Hail for vintage!
