The rear cog is "fixed" or locked in place. Picture a kids trike - when they move the trike, the pedals rotate, whether you go forwards or backwards.

SWEET bike!!! I look at those sometimes; I'd be torn between my hometown (Boston) and my home (NW)
...
I have a Specialized Globe and I just love it. LOVE it.

What a cool bike!!!
A friend of mine rode a fixie on a a mountain ride we did a few months back...it was something to see him descend a 12% grade! (but he was really easy to pick out!!!)
enjoy the bike!

I was just reading an article about those bikes this past weekend in the paper! Apparently, they are difficult to find (at least the NYC one was supposed to be). They only made so many of these and they are selling like hotcakes. I LOVE the Boston bike and my second choice would be the beautiful green one you got.
Congrats on your new love!
