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 mean, i'm not a messanger, so i guess i dont have much of a say, but how do you guys feel about him becoming the "face" of messengering, and possibly 'urban cycling' as a whole? i mean he's hispanic, so i back that, but i'm a little bummed he tossed the IRO from the puma dvd

Was he really on ESPN2 or is this just a hypothetical "What if CMWC is broadcast/sponsored someday?" If he was on TV, wtf and can I get a link to it?

yeah he really was on. it talked about him and how into velo racing he is and his girlfriend and their kid and about cmwc and basic idea of messengering.

TIMELESS (ESPN2, 1am) - See previous entry. This first episode features a bicycle messenger who uses his job as training for his sport.
is all i can find about it though, from https://www.recordingtelevision.com/recordingtv/

but yeah, he wasnt riding that tonic either. if he was it wasnt green. he was riding a red c-dale roadie (i'm guessing from matching red sponsor jersey), then after he ran into a barrier for no reason, switched to a red fixed with very similar paint job to the roadie, so i'm guessing c-dale again
