Calling all fixed gears!!

burkenaut

My name is Burke and I am conducting a research project about fixed gear bikes and their geographical gravitation. I was hoping that you would be able to help me gather information by filling out this short survey (it takes about 2 minutes). All findings will be written up in the form of a research paper. Your participation in this survey is completely optional and anonymous. All personal information will not be used; such as email, name, and login name. Please help me in my research and thank you very much for your help.

Everyone is giving me great statistics. Keep it up. I would like to get a sample population of at least 500 and right now I am at 170. Tell your friends, tell your pen pals, tell everyone who rides a fixed gear you know. I really apreciate your responces.
