Hmmmmmmm...
In England: "fixed wheel" for non coasting wheel? So I presume they also have a "free wheel" that is a coasting wheel? Not to be confused with the "freewheel" that is a set of cogs that will freewheel on a hub?
Somehow the term "fixed gear" makes wayyyyyy more sense to me!
The terms I don't care for are "track bike" for any fixed gear bike, and "straight kicker" which defies description.
