If you’re a cycle enthusiast, you probably read Fixé Magazine. With four issues in the UK already, the [cycling magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicycle-store) recently launched in France - with an attention-grabbing cover to boot. It features a [nude cyclist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela) - the body of a female standing behind a bike; her only clothing is a pair of cycling gloves. Nude cyclist photos also appear within the magazine (see gallery).

In addition to appealing to France’s love of biking - after all, it is the home the world’s most famous bike race, the [Tour de France](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tour-de-france-indoor-bike) - this debut cover and issue in France is perhaps also to allude to the country’s penchant for romance and sensuality.

Or, it’s just to sell more magazines.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Nude Cycling Culture:** The trend of using nudity to promote cycling culture is growing and presents opportunities for disruptors to develop new marketing strategies and products.
- **Provocative Magazine Covers:** The trend of using provocative and controversial imagery on magazine covers in order to draw attention to print media presents opportunities for disruptors to enter the publishing industry.
- **Localization in International Markets:** The trend of adapting to local cultural norms in international magazine markets presents opportunities for disruptors to gain market share.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Cycling Apparel:** Companies in the cycling apparel industry can take advantage of the trend of nudity in cycling culture by developing more products that cater to consumers who value liberation and comfort.
- **Print Media:** The publishing industry can benefit from the trend of provocative magazine covers by investing in artistic design and content that appeals to a wider audience while staying true to their brand.
- **International Marketing:** Marketers can take advantage of the trend of localization in international markets by creating strategies that cater specifically to each region's cultural preferences and norms.
