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)

Yesterday was funny.

You know when there is a period of really bad weather, and then you get a good day, everyone takes their nice cars out for a cruise? You see drop-tops, Corvettes, hot-rods, etc, etc.

Well yesterday I went out for a ride to run some errands and whatever else, and everyone was out on their shiny bikes catching rays of the sun. Some roadie decided to show me up by trackstanding right next to me at a light . Show off!
