Fixed gear bikes, once a status symbol of cool, are now everywhere

By SHAN LI
As a student at Cal State Long Beach, J.W. Zhang saw a bicycle that changed his life — a sleek, single-speed called a fixed gear bike.

It was 2011, the height of the fixie craze, and Zhang was eager to hop on the bandwagon. But when he realized that the cheapest, second-hand versions sold for $500, he had bigger ideas.

“The bike was cool,” Zhang said. “But the price point was too high. I saw the potential market.”

Leaning on his family’s background in manufacturing, he eventually opened his own factory in China, producing bikes that cost as little as $199 through his City of Industry company Avant Enterprises. These inexpensive imports have fueled the rise of upstart bicycle brands, many of them in Southern California, and transformed fixies from a niche fad into a mainstream bicycle that has introduced new riders to cycling and lured others back to the activity.
