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)

I just bought one of those last month...and I'm 42 years old. Second childhood I guess.

Hey, I actually have some friends in Ashland! It's conceivable that Boston might represent at an Ashland alleycat!

just let me know and we can organize one here, we have been thinking about doing a psuedo alleycat for awhile now. Just not to many people riding fixies around here but I'm sure we could anybody a run for there money, (hopefully)

of course it will make 7, now that the A word (alleycat) has been dropped, it's going to explode.

i checked out google maps. are all those squiggly roads around ashland hilly? it could be like a tour de France stage or something. half country, half city.
