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)

Better late than never, right? Finally got some pics of this off of my brother's camera:

Here are a few of the bike tree we built :





The outside of a couple of bars :



The bar with a shot up door from a police car, signed by the regulars of the bar. It was too packed, and they were doing Karaoke, so I left :



A few guys thought it would be fun to ride their bikes through a standing room only bar :



Some random people at the same bar that friends of ours knew :


Gilby and I got stuck outside a bar for an eternity because of the BMX in the foreground locking to her. The green bike is Chuck's from our saturday night ride - I still don't know how he can ride with his seat like that.


A friend of my brothers. She claimed it was the first time she tried beer. Normally it's vodka and wine. She did have vodka, too. The fall was intentional - she decided to lie down when it was revealed that we were waiting for 2 people to disassemble the bike tree - no-one could leave until they left the bar.


Hope you all enjoy - that was a blast...

Now who's doing the next one? We got northeast out of the way, what about north, northwest, west, southwest, south, and south east? I think St Paul has quite a few directions, too! Then there are suburbs... This really needs to be at least a quarterly thing, or at least monthly... Of course weekly would be good too...

I have no idea then. I just noticed from the bag the guy's wearing in that pic that it's probably one of the guys that rode through the bar...

I'd have to agree with you there. Especially since you wanted to ride the bmx - the pedals on your Bianchi would have been hitting you in the calf a lot. If I remember right, you did have quite a few guys offereing to ride it to the the next bar for you though...

Dood, your going on about her socks!?! If only you knew about her pink Circle A track bike! Yup.

Thanks, for somehow leaving me out of the bowling alley biking pictures, word. The best part
is the three of us were 'kicked out'! We re-entered (sans-bicycles) wearing hats, foiling the 'bouncer'.

My favorite;

Someone locked their bike to his and couldn't be located. He simply took off to the next bar. (I forgot his name.. my bad)

dammit...that looks to be the best ride ever. Tons of mayhem to be had, or watched, or caused. Or not.

DOOD, those are ill, looks like a sick night. As far as other nights, there are bars all over MPLS proper you didn't hit, CC Tap, Liquor Lyle's, Nye's Polonaise, Jack's from "Fargo, and what about Matt's for Juicy Lucy's, now that would produce some technicolor yawns. Did you guys forget ghetto, and the Starlight Lanes?
I may not drink any more, but I do remember some of the better spots to get thrown out of. Oh to have Moby's back, now that was a bar to be tossed out of.
Yeah, North East would be fun too, Archie's Bunker, that's a great biker bar. You've got me thinking about the bars I used to frequent. Argh.

Let me know if anyone ever wants me to give them the St. Paul bar tour. I know all of the dive bars. I can even give a 3.2 tour for you sober folks out there. But for you slow moving saturday night riders, the condition is that you have to get to St. Paul before last call; not every dive bar can afford to stay open as late as those trendy Mpls. pubs.

I'll wear my buttless pants just for you. I would warn you that I'd be blowin' kisses (those beans are tasty), but you'd be too far back to smell them, so it would be pointless.

As for that "gentlemens" club tour idea...Portland, Oregon would be the place for that. More strip clubs per capita than any other city in the country. Now there's something to boast about.

Umm... bring it. I hope to see you tomorrow, either in Dinkytown at 21:00 or at 5th Ave. S. and the Greenway trail at 19:30. I'll try to put 30 miles or so on the legs to warm up first.
