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)

^^^ yeah i saw that, do you think it's more a result of the age of fixed gear riders or more a result of the age of computer users? obviously it's a little of both, but i would be curious if a non-internet poll came out differently
