The fixed gear bicyicle is the simplest of human powered machines, and legions of riders have discovered the joy of the "fixie". To those iin the know, 42 x 12 is a gear ratio, and a demanding one at that, but this isn't a book about equipment, rather an attempt to get under the skiin of riders risking life and limb in pursuit of their passion. 42 x 12 - Th Cult of Fixed examines the global repercussions of fixed-gear and single speed bicycle culture.
Klappentext zu „42 x 12 “
So Just who is the Fixie rider? It's the buzz question that a lot of people want to know right now. If we're to believe some, then the Fixie rider is a horribly spoilt late twenty something male of affluent background. He's never been required to grow up and spends all of his pocket money on cool toys and fads in a never ending effort to be trendy. Cynics would say that the Fixie rider is a myth in the process of being invented by those people who want to sell stuff to rich kids; ie the brands. Through contemporary observation and the collaboration of those on the inside from Taiwan to New York, Brick Lane to Tokyo, 42x12 gives a unique insight into whats going on at ground level.
