text: As with any other bicycle, the chain should be checked making sure the master link is securely latched. The chain can be lubricated monthly for smooth riding. Also, as needed, the brakes should be tightened as they wear and tire condition observed for possible puncture locations. Air pressure in the tires, tire alignment, brake handle placement, and rust should be monitored on a daily basis because they can change very easily during a jarring ride.
  Subculture
  Fixed-gear bicycles are often associated with the hipster subculture.
  Republic of Korea
  Until 2010s, the fixie culture wasn't popular in Korea. But Especially since 2013, the NAVER WEBTOON 'windbraker' had made, the fixie became popular between the middle school- high school students. By its trick and colorful design, fixie is most popula bike kind between students of KOREA. Korean students ride a 'UNKNOWN bike coperation', 'CONSTANTINE BIKE', 'ENGINE 11' the most.
  Australia
  Until recently, the Australian fixie culture has been small. However, with the strong Australian dollar and cost effective manufacturing and importing from China, Australia has seen many new online stores capitalise on the cheap steel frames commonly imported to the UK and US. Online stores in Australia ship partially-assembled bikes directly to consumers, considerably undercutting prices at typical brick and mortar stores.
  Canada
  Fixed gear bikes have become much more popular in Canada within the last couple years. Cities like Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal have many fixed gear riders, mostly in the downtown areas.
