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)

Scrod, I want you to know something. As a funny ass person, I don't laugh a lot. It's one of the only downsides to being comical. I rarely ever laugh at stuff in real life, but even more so on the internet.

I just ******** lost it.

Thank you.

Today I double-biked it up from Expo Center to Paul's. Gotta double-bike it up the hill to the campsite soon.

I so miss Specialized Crossroads tires. One of best continuous tread knobbies I've ever ridden.



People always look at me funny when I double bike. Double biked the Diamondback Interval and a SWEET Trek 1000 earlier today. Couple dudes were slobbering over my friends Trek, they didn't give a damn about my badass Diamondback, tho.

I can't see this video from my phone, so I don't really know what it entails, but I know Kaz's riding style, and I know I'm a much more aggressive rider than she is. If she says she would've taken the lane, I can almost guarantee that I would've too.

So, I've been using this thread to ***** about things in my life lately, and I shouldn't have. I just don't have many places to vent, and sometimes I need to. Sorry for bringing anyone down. It won't happen again, unless I'm super hammered while having a ****ty day. No promises at that point.

Taking the lane usually works better than you think it might, IME.

You really don't want this. It's much more of a burden than an ability.

IDK about that... I remembered in my days of undergrad, I managed to get away with some pretty valuable stuff a la BS... the sweet moment when you BS'd a perfect/ near perfect.

being able to BS well totally relies on the ability to be factual and knowledgable more often than not.

only after being on point is when you can get away with slipping in some BS
