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 think it was a high-end bianchi. but like i say i couldn't see really. but the dude had mad skills. you wouldn't've believed it. most amazing thing i've seen on a bike. no one else has even come close. i would pay to watch this guy again.

he rode straight over an SUV that cut him off, bunnyhopped on the top of a tractor trailer, then did a 360 tailwhip back into the bike lane. while he was doing all that he also saved a baby from getting hit by a bus and punched Bloomberg. brakeless of course.
