Most fixies follow the fixie ideal of looking like track bike frames being used for general riding.
And since track bikes use very narrow tires, many fixies does too.
It's possible to build fixie wheels for any kind of bike. But not being able to coast is such a big drawback that not many people find any use for such a bike.

Why you need to do paddling to carry on cycling on a level road?
because the friction between the wheels on your bike and the road is constatly trying to slow you down and if you stop peddling the friction will stop your bike from moving altogether. Hope that helped ! :)
When a bike accelerates down the road what is the reaction to the tires pushing on the road?
drag, because when i ride my exercise bike then jump off, the wheels keep on going for like a half hour, unless you put on the brakes. the correct term is FRICTION.

Can you use a mountain bike frame as a road bike frame?
Sort of. Most MTBs use 26" wheels while most road bikes use 28" wheels. Although a MTB frame will usually have room for 28" wheels with skinny tires you won't get rim brakes to line up. There are adapters available which lets you mount road-style caliper brakes on a frame intended for canti/V-brakes. or if your MTB frame have disc brake mounting tabs you can get a set of road-size wheels built up with disc brake hubs. Then there is the fork. Most MTBs come with suspension forks, which are pointless energy sappers on a road bike. Simply sticking a road bike fork on there will cause a serious change in geometry, so that's not advisable. Better then to go for a suspension-corrected rigid fork. Next is a question about what crank and what shifters you want to use. Road cranks have higher teeth counts, they do best when paired with road front derailers, which require road shifters to get the correct actuation ratio. Road bikes and MTBs tends to favor different cabling arrangements, which can cause some problems. Bottom line is that it is doable, but fairly pointless. There are plenty of traps you can fall into, and it'll never be a "real" road bike. Better then either to buy a road bike, or simply slap some slicks and a road cassette on your MTB and ride it as it is.
