Yes, exactly! There are a few of you Ohio SS/fixers on the site. Fixedgearhead is from Fredricktown. Too bad you are all so spread out across the state.

if we show up with non-fixie friends are we going to get ostracized? maybe throw spare cogs at the and such

Well jump on that bike and start peddaling. It's only 290 miles to Chicago, at a 17mph average plus breaks and sleep you should make it just in time. Just imagine the hero's welcome stickerguy and crustedfish would give you after a ride like that.

What did you do to that poor cat?

We Ohio stuck SS/Fix riders should all get together and ride sometime. Kinda like the Chicago guys are doing. Maybe....Toledo? Cleveland?

don't have to be a fixie...if you are a SS, or anything else, just show up...as long as you are on a bike, right!?!?!?!?!?

I would love to pedal on up there. I could use some Gino's East and Goose Island...who am I kidding? I'll settle for a Chicago style hot dog or Taco #2 and a Pabst. Regardless, the weirdest thing happened the other day, I went to sleep healthy and woke up with a bum knee. No kidding! I don't know what the hell happened.

BTW that's not my cat. It's just a picture I found on the internet

Ventilation units where towers
Meet the streets
The ragged stand in bags
Soaking heat up through their feet

This was the donly kindness
And it was accidental too

Great, that song is stuck in my head!!!

So what's the concensus? Only fixies?

singlespeed
03-19-04, 06:04 AM
How about anyone that shows up? I could care less what you ride, as long as you ride.

Plus I figure that ups the odds on how many people we can get to show up.

Sorry Early Birds-
no show on this one. Sleep is more important to me at the moment.

We should really get together and decide if we should use this in the future for said rides:

I'm feeling sick so no dice this weekend. I need to get well.

crustedfish
03-19-04, 11:16 AM
I dunno...so far, only two of us are gonna show? whatever...

this funking chicago weather is pissing me off..at least its sunny right now...

rain? I dont care, but, nobody will prolly show up...so, maybe Ill just ride by myself through the streets of chicago, looking for friends, and yelling at the tourists...

maybe ill mount a miniDV cam on my helmet and fly through Michigan avenue, surfing the cabbies and tour buses..

yeah, at least that would be fun..
