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)

MC with the cops who arrested 50 cyclists last nite

i thank you so much for keeping our city so safe! i mean, i was terrified before, walking around, of various cyclists of all ages and races biking around in clown outfits, on unicycles, and in suits and various street clothes. now you have made the town safe for me! i am also indebted to you for keeping your polluting cars on idle the whole night while we tried to promote, vainly i suppose, a culture where we can live with sustainable energy and prevent things like the pollution that is giving your kids asthma, and help people to stay in shape and fight our encroaching obesity epidemic.

yes, i thank you for repeatedly breaking your obviously false motto of "courtesy, professionalism and respect" to enforce, randomly i might add, laws that break apart our city, not bring it together. and finally, a big, hearty thank you for parking in the bike lanes while you were arresting people, an irony that i'm sure will be lost on your small, pig-headed, order-subservient minds.

congratulations, you are such an asset to our city!

not to rain on anyone's CM parade, but, what does this really have to do with Single Speeds or Fixed Gears?

Isn't it obvious? The cops were "fixin'" to arrest some renegade cyclists!
