Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the probability by dividing the number of fixed gear bikers by the total number of bikers in the parade.

Since there are 8 fixed gear bikers and 52 bikers in total, this will be found by dividing 8 by 52.

So, the probability as a fraction is [tex]\frac{8}{52}[/tex]

This can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:

= [tex]\frac{2}{13}[/tex]

So, the probability is [tex]\frac{2}{13}[/tex]
