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)

Tomity video interview

Many of you may know him. (Video is a little long, almost 19 minutes, with poor audio.)

That was great. Thank you for posting it. Tomity appears as down to earth and genuine as I had always imagined him to be; we are lucky to have him on this forum.
