Single speed bikes have become super fashionable in recent times. Often reffered to as ‘fixie’ bikes, (due to their fixed gear) they are now the favoured method of transport for the hipster. If you are looking to buy one of these bikes, you are going to be overwhelmed with choice. There are literally hundreds to choose from, so british lifestyle are going to give you a run down of the top 5 single speed bikes available today.

The Hi-performance

The All-Black
Felt Brougham
Our favourite bike of the lot, the all black, sleek Brougham. Its super cool and unlike some of the other bikes available, its not going to go out of fashion. Plus, with some excellent parts, its a quick ride.
