Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Not to hijack the thread and turn this into a "what to wear" thread, but I do what Trevor does. Gotta love loose denim over the lycra. Makes you feel armor clad.

You make the third person I've ever known to actually use the word admixture. Rock.

It helps to try to appreciate the humor that can be found in most things.
pretty much: tragedy + distance/perspective = humor

shakespeare's 'comedies' were just that - it's how it works!

My money is on the dude in the 2CC jersey - the other two just can't fight off gravity.

the colors of the bridge and bike path match quite well with the articles of clothing and bicycles. i'm convinced this is pure genius.
