There are historical of social order and provision exist in traditional societies, individuals can position themselves in social behavior. Since traditional society transfer to a modern society, community to provide a variety of individual selectivity, but also with uncertainty and liquidity, thereby affecting the individual’s sense of belonging and to seek self-identity, in this context, the interest margin groups emerged.This article will locked in a special interest margin groups-bikers, and choose one of them as my object of study which called "Wolf. With participating their riding activities, I try to understand the type and process of the Wolf’s activities, to observe and to summarize the interactive features of members, then to find out the recognition of the Wolfs members, the impact of themselves as well as their interpersonal characteristics.Through observing the Wolfs interactive process, I found that there are some interactive laws, online and offline interactive crossed, symbols play an important role, role assignments can be taken shape through interaction are included. In addition, managers can be emerged while members participate in the interaction, and the interpersonal characteristics as well as sub-groups are brought about. Meanwhile, the group identity are generated in the interaction, gradually regulate the conduct of members and to provide resources for the individual to find a sense of belonging and self-identity. At the same time, the characteristics of the Wolf’s interaction and relationships can provide realistic significance for the development of formal organizations and social integration. But the mobility and openness feature of interest margin groups results in inevitable defects, members’identity of the group are limited, as well as the social resources for providing social integration, and the conflict within the group may not be can promote the group’s unity.
