Hi, Iīm a half-danish half-swedish cyclist thatīs in desperate need of help .
1. Does anyone know the Swedish or Danish word for fixed or single speed bikes?
2. Does anyone have any european links, preferably Swedish or Danish sites about fixed and ss?

why is it important?

Because I speak both swedish and danish daily so iīd like to know what itīs called...

ah, okay. Did you try a Google search?

Yep.
Not really sure what to search for though...

Try babel fish. Don't know if they support the language, but it's a start.

Dave

thanks
one question though
whatīs babel fish?

It's a fish you stick in your ear. It translates languages. Vogon and the like.

PM Skitbraviking...he is swedish

Here's a link for Danish Cycling Federation...you might start there.
https://www.dcf.dk/

Did you look for an online translator?

I just lost a cup of soup over that one..

I was wondering when someone was going to get that one.

Just make sure to take the fish out before the Vogans read their poetry, horrible stuff. I'd rather chew my arm off.

i'll be in copenhagen for 6 months starting in june .....

I sent a pm to viking. He doesnīt know either.
thanks for the link but i searched all over that site already.
Thanks for all the help though! The search continues

Tranlated to Danish at this website, https://translation.langenberg.com/
fixed gear = nagelfast indgreb
single speed = ugifte hastighed

to Swedish
fixed gear = fästad redskap
single speed = enkel fart

Thanks man, but thatīs the direct translation of each word.
Gear has several meanings, and when you combine the words ex Fixed gear, they form their own word...

1: The closest you'll get to a Swedish terminology would be 'fast utväxling' or 'fast drev' for 'fixed gear; [/]'track bike[/I] translates into 'bancykel' in Swedish ('banecykel' in Danish). Singlespeed is, well, singlespeed. These words are pretty sketchy and un-googlable, though: there are only about 10-15 FG riders in Sweden, the last velodrome closed in the 60s, and you'll have a hard time finding people who know what you're on about (for LBSs, you might want to try Dr Spoke on Asogatan or Cykellabbet on, I think, Kocksgatan if you're in the Stockholm region).
2: I've been messengering in Tallinn for a while, but I still keep in touch with most of the Swedish FG riders through a mailing list I set up last year - e-mail me (jacob at jacob dot net) and I'll add you. For the Copenhagen scene, try www.cph-fxt.ownsthis.com.

Только войдите в ваш велосипед и поездку!

Thanks!
The copenhagen area is better than stockholm as itīs alot closer to me and my family lives there so Iīm more "at home" there than Stockholm.

Jesus, if you don't know you gotta question his validity?

NICE.

Talk about dragging up old information!

Talk about a post *****.
