The fixed gear bicycle is the simplest of human powered machines,
and legions of riders have discovered the joy of the "fixie." To
those in 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 skin of riders risking life and limb in pursuit of
their passion. 42 x12 - The Cult of the Fixed examines the global
repercussions of fixed-gear and single-speed bicycle culture.
Through contemporary observation and the collaboration of those on
the inside from Taiwan to New York, London to Tokyo, 42 x12 gives a
unique insight into what's going on at ground level. Features
within 42 x 12 include: The Tweed Run, as distinguished gents bring
style and sophistication to the streets of London; messenger and
alley cat racing, requiring the need for more than just speed in an
urban environment; indoor and keirin racing, eyeballs out at 150
Revolutions per minute.
