I'm a student doing a product design course, and I've managed to blag my way into doing my final project on fixed gear/track bikes.
Answers to the following questions would help me with my project a great deal.
Q1: What do you like about fixed-gear/track bikes? Easy to use, maintain. Fun to ride. I enjoy the 'customisation/individuality' side too - fun to build
Q2: Do you have brakes*? front, rear, both or none? No
Q3: What setup do you have on your rear hub? (mark all that apply)
fixed
free
fixed/free flip-flop
dingle cog
other (please specify)
Q4: What DON'T you like about fixed-gear/track bikes? Bellends being influenced by others and being too worried about being part of a developing scene - just fucking ride your bike and enjoy it!
Q5: If a baker's dozen is 13, can i call a 3-day weekend a baker's weekend? Racist
Thanks very very much from the bottom of my heart to everyone who answers these questions for me!
*I don't include riding fixed-gear in this questionnaire, even though this technically counts as a braking mechanism.
Hope these help :-)
