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)

Got a new job!

Well i dont know if any of you know the Jimmy Johns sub sandwich chain... but the one here in lafayette, indiana delivers by bikes/cars. I just got hired today as a new delivery guy. So i now i get paid to ride my bike everyday!! I cant wait... my first day is next wednesday.

The only thing that might suck is dealing with drunk people all night on the weekends. On my shift i will deliver from 10pm to 4am in the morning. Kind of sucks but i i'll make fatty tips.. The store is right in the village at Purdue University (where all the bars are) So everyone gets wasted and goes home and orders food. Plus i wont be able to be the one wasted at 3am saturday morning ordering food.. oh well.. itll be worth it.

Any tips on what to expect as far as not getting my ass kicked the first day... i ride probably 30 miles a day at least... i left my odometer on my old bike when i sold it for the fixie... so i dont know exactly how much... what do you guys think? Am i gonna be sore as hell the first night?

look exciting.... I have a SS road bike and I am planning to use it totally for all my job. I am doing computer servicing. Currently I only ride to my friend house everyday (about 25 km). The others are using motorcycle. So if I used bicycle completely, I may be riding about 65 km per day ! Let see how your job going !
