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?

I missed the ride Tuesday night... I'm doing a few loops if anyone wants to meet up. I'm thinking sometime around 11. I didn't plan on leaving CC. Come ride if you want.

So... is this pretzel factory the one all the street-meat vendors get theirs from? And are they like hot and fresh at midnight? cause that would rock.

Yes, almost too hot to eat, and cheap. Like the hookers on 13th st. Cheap, that is, not too hot to eat.

pretzels in general are vegan right? i mean, the ones that i've seen. i used to eat those pretzels when i was a vegetarian, but moved from philly and have since gone vegan. it would be good to know though.

I think usually the pretzels themselves (the dough anyway) are vegan, but sometimes places glaze them with eggwhites before they go in the oven.

if you get fresh pretzels do yourself a favor and go to 7eleven and pour yourself a cup of cheezwiz to dip them in. you won't be sorry. hot pretzel dipped in wiz = awesome.
