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)

Ended up eating Soba noodles and getting sick smelling dead fish in a market. Still was a great experience for my first time in Japan. Cool little city.

Here is a photo essay of my commute:

First, my son checks that my bike is working properly:


That is my destination from a park near my apartment, it is downhill all the way to work:


This is Oxford St, the gayest street in the gayest city in the world, lots of 24hr clubs & always something to look at:


Down to the harbour:




My work is just over the other side of these buildings:


Through the CBD:


Destination (not my pic):

I forgot how great this thread was; I don't want to say a lot more fun than the roadies' version, but you one speed riders hit the roads and the streets, which is great fun.

Things have happened since here: https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.p...8&postcount=78

Home, or anywhere I lay my head anyway:



'Bout time I got out to Valley Forge. It's only 46 miles round trip, right?



Ugh. How many more miles back to Philadelphia?



Learning that riding 50 miles in a day is not the same as riding 50 miles on a ride: you get thirstier
