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?

sounds rad to me.
In japan I saw some crazy rigs on bikes for delivering food. a whole suspension platform with a tarp that coverd it, held in place with springs. the times I saw them it looked like they were delivering soup and don buri, in ceramic bowls. I guess some people get the food delivered on a regular basis and return the dishes from the previous delivery or something.

anyway the food platform was cool.

Pizza must first be eaten, and then transported inside your belly.

Thats what I do.
Those generic 1.00 pizzas fold very nicely into a burrito.
Just reuse the little wax paper baggy so stuff doesnt get everywhere.
