¿Son ilegales las bicis fixed gear?

In short, no. To our knowledge, it is completely legal everywhere in the world to ride a fixed gear bicycle when they are equipped with brakes. The problem arises with the question: "can you ride fixed gear bike without brakes?" 

And here we come across some laws that completely ban brakeless fixed gear bicycles. These laws vary from país to país, so the best way to find out would be to contacto your local police or look at the forums in your inicio país. 

Here are rules of few counties that we found out acerca de:

Austria: Bicycles without brakes are not legal on public roads. Every bike needs to have two independent brakes, also note that when conditions require it lights are mandatory as well.

Belgium: Bicycles are required to have both front and rear freno, bell and reflectors or lights.

Denmark: All bicycles are required to have brakes on both wheels, reflectors, and bells.
