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 had someone I passed who was sitting at the cross road of intersection waiting for the light to change yell the stupidest thing I've ever had yelled at me. "Nice Car!!".

ohh ouch! Oh my bike isn't a car? I never realized, no wonder I can't find the gas tank. Boy you zinged me on that one!

Sarcasm works better if it makes sense.

Looks good, perfect for the warmer weather we should be having.

Is that a garlic necklace in the background?

Today I packed most of my apartment up and cleaned half of it. Final hurrah and a friends 21st birthday tonight, and then clearing out for home in the morning. Three years down, pretty sure theres only two more to go.

Today I: https://app.strava.com/activities/52173942 with only 1 stop at the half way point.

My knees, legs and neck feel like death, I don't know how you guys do it, probably a big hot cup of HTFU. I invited like 8 people, only 1 showed up, I guess that what I should expect when I set up a 530am roll out time haha.

I may have to add you to my strava just so I can give you kudos. At least you had one buddy to roll with, right? So the ride can't have been all bad.

I personally know very few girls that can really pull off short hair, but you really rock it. My ex chopped all hers off and it looks terrible. Lolololz for days.

But props to you for making it work

Weather is great right now, humidity hasn't kicked in yet, once it does its gonna be nasty and sweaty-er. 8 episodes of Triple Rush BTW, I just watched it too haha

Thanks! The last 10 miles were killing me trying to keep up. We would switch leading to help cut through the wind, I made sure to do my share dispite the suck. We usually have another guy come who is new so we would go slower and get more breaks in, was definitely a good work out.

Which one of you is Justin??? And a warning; I record all my rides, which includes my 3 miles to and from work, sorry for flooding your feeds in advance!

Installed my headset and alpina carbon fork to my leader 725, still need to push down the ring all the way to the bottom of the fork, i'll probably go grab a pvc pipe for the garage or something and find a mallet and hit it down. Gonna have to take it to a shop later once i get some spacers and my stem to have it cut, its way too tall. probably higher than my seatpost.

Well I'm just about the opposite - I always forget to either start or stop my ride on strava, making that session useless. I average about every 4th one being a success. But tomorrow I'm headed out to the velodrome for the first time so I will at least strava the route to get there (and back, if I can remember it).

With the BS that happened earlier this year, I'm glad I'm on the main land. I'm also a city boy, not a huge fan of country living. I was stationed in Arkansas before here

If you get on the computer you can crop the ride to at least cut off the extra time from leaving it on, can't do anything about adding to the route (that I know of).
