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 work from home, so my commute is a walk down the stairs to the basement.
Oh. Have you thought about a pedicure?

I know ford uses volvo engines in a couple of their models but I think that is a stretch.

first off, you're all ******

"eeew, it's too cold out! i have to use my car!!!" you all need to


i'd say it's NWS but if you click play on videos called what this is called and you're at work you deserve to get fired so...

also, commuter bicycles are the bomb. that said, a track bike makes a terrible commuter.

my commuter a few days ago:

it's now much less commutable because i'm an idiot and undid all the work i did to it.

you know, it really is. three years of service and i still am impressed with it. i put a freewheel on and boy, just standing on the cranks through a corner really lets you feel the frame handle under you in ways you never can focus on when it's fixed. for three years i never felt how 'steel' this bike feels. i love this frame.

and the color rocks my face off too.

My commuter had gears, fenders and a rack. I'm not sure it would be appreciated here.
