Comments: Fixing a Borel measure in the unit circle (or even in any star-like Jordan curve in the plane) one can define a group of “fixed angle rotations”. With this tool in hands, it is possible to define rigid motions of the plane. Finally, roulettes are defined and analogous to the Euler-Savary equations are obtained.
