Bike Trials is not a very famous sport, but if anyone in McMaster is doing it it would be awesome to go riding together.

Its basically going over obstacles with your bike (also called mountain bike trials or observed trials)

if you just clicked this to see what it is, umm here are youtube links to some of the pros:

Damon Watson (trials, some crazy stuff in here )
Danny Macaskil - Way Back Home (street trials)

cheers!!

Nice!!

Crashes are always fun, especially this one (make sure to turn up the sound)

hm what are fixed gear bikes for exactly? when I googled that it showed expensive looking bikes (is it the ones that go on a round track and up to 70km/h?) or is it just a commuter bike.

anyway tho, I ride long distance sometimes if thats what u do with a fixed gear bike

Yeah its basically a commuter bike setup like a road style fixed gear; drop bars, 700c skinny tires.
Here's an example. http://bikereviews.com/wp-content/up...teel-fixed.jpg
Not my bike but setup is similar.
