The Slow Spin Society Podcast Ep.25 - What Is The Track Bike Aesthetic ? Community, Trends, and Unspoken Rules

ep_25_cover.jpg

Hey all,

Today’s episode focuses on the track bike aesthetic. Whether it is a fancy chainring, wide bars, or going brakeless, we’re all guilty of splurging on our bikes to make them look a certain way. We try to strike a balance between form and function, but does one take priority over the other?  Is there one ‘correct’ way a fixed gear bike should look like? What are the unspoken style rules in the community? Do they matter? How are we influenced to style our bikes in a certain way? All of these questions and more are discussed by us!
