Fixies Fire Up Bogotá Bicycle Week

Fixed gear bike riders after a polo game in the National Park

Bogotá's Bicycle Week 2011 included a bicycle polo match in the National Park. I missed it, but got some pics of the colorful bicycles, almost all of which are 'fixies.'

Fixed-gear bicycles have become much more common here during the last few years, altho they still number in the low dozens, I suspect. They've also got their own very active organization: http://www.bogotafixed.com/
