“For the last two years cyclists have gathered in Brooklyn for weekly peel sessions, pushing the limits of the emerging sport of fixed-gear freestyle.”
Expect to see burlier parts from BMX on fixed gears. These freestylers at the peel and elsewhere break frames and parts like roadies go through tires. See more freestyle from Quickrelease.tv.

Strange how no one seemed to point out that the name “peel sessions” is a homage to iconoclastic BBC Radio One DJ, John Peel, who hosted a show called the Peel Sessions. Peel was known for his eclectic taste in music and is often credited with bringing recognition to bands that would later become hugely famous. John Peel died in 2004.
