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)

I'd love to have a Velomobile - too expensive (for now anyway). Very fast.

I test rode a Vaya last year - very fun, comfy bike to ride.

What kind of material are your flaps made out of?

It looks like just two sliders on his forks' lowrider mounts and I'm guessing nut+bolt thru hole drilled in fender.

Gotta have special forks to do that specific setup.
