Fixed Gear Bicycles And Aircraft/Military Stuff, Why?
As you can see, the primary theme of our retail store and FUBAR website is an aircraft/military one.
We have a passion and understanding for those brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice, so that we as a people of the world have the freedom to live how we want, to ride what we want, and to speak our minds truthfully.
The fixed gear revolution and the lifestyle that goes along with it reflects the freedom we have to express ourselves and our unique personalities that shows our taste in color and self expression with bicycles.
For this reason we give thanks to those, in past and present, who fought so that we can have these freedoms to communicate across this planet on those basic but fun things like expressing our views and personalities with the tool of a bicycle.
How we chose to ride , whether it be for commuting, good health, exercise, or socializing with others (instead of sitting in traffic alone, going crazy) will lead to more public awareness about the benefits of riding a bicycle and freedom of mind it helps to promote.
The bicycle is a great social tool for breaking down the barriers between people and countries .
Believe it or not the pilot of the p-51 MUSTANG survived after bailing out to fight for freedom another day.

American Volunteer Group in China and Bicycles
Before we went to war with Japan the Chinese needed help against the onslaught of Japanese fighters. Commander Claire Chennault put this group of American Volunteer group together to fight for the Chinese.
The Japanese were caught completely off guard by these camouflaged planes with tiger teeth painted on them. The Japanese did not know who these mystery pilots or planes were.
On their first mission they shot down a number of enemy planes and the Chinese press nicknamed them the Flying Tigers. Walt Disney designed the art work for AVG. Because they were not funded by the American government they would use bicycles from the locals so they could go down to the local watering holes and release some steam.
They also used bicycles to get from one side of the air field to the other since jeeps and other gas powered vehicles were not readily available.
Unfortunately the Chinese Government does not express this part of history to the younger people of China.
The AVG were considered hero's by the people of China and were very honored and happy to receive our help. Now they are all but forgotten there. But like most governments history gets rewritten for their own benefits.
Also, the Chinese soldiers used hundreds of bicycles to traverse the vast land scape burdened with guns and equipment because it was faster then walking in large columns. It sometimes surprised the Japanese how fast they could get to an area of combat with out the use of troop carriers. The bicycles numbered in the thousands. Often with just one speed bicycles.
In this picture a couple of P-40's are chasing down a Zero at low altitude which Claire Chennault would never have approved of since the zero was a faster tighter turning aircraft.
