  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: FROM THE VELODROM TO THE STREETS – THE RECREATION SCENES OF FIXED GEAR BIKES. A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON HUNGARIAN AND FOREIGNER FIXED GEAR BIKERS

In the present study our aim was to find answers in connection with the increasingly popular fixed gear bicycle (fixie) cultures. We wanted to find out, how popular fixies are among recreational activities in Hungarian and foreigner biking populations. We designed a questionnaire to find out who the bikers are, who they ride with, what their motivations are, how regularly they ride their bikes whose characteristic features are significantly different from other types of bikes and vehicles.

Keywords: fixed gear, recreation, bicycle, riding habits, subculture
