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)

chicago fixie monthly/weekly ride

i rode with the folks from chicago freeride on saturday night where they crashed the LATE ride. it was a blast and some of the nicest riders i've met. but they organize a monthly ride, complete with beer stops, anything like this in the way of fixed gear riders here in chicago?

Saturday nights are bad for me personally, always something going on - how about a Sunday morning/afternoon ride? Either way no worries - so long as folks get together to ride.
