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 stuck my headlight into a jack-o-lantern because it was too rainy for candles. Someone stole it.

Today...mountain biking is quite possibly the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm so sore right now. I literally fall every 30 feet or so...and in Arizona that means I'm falling into rocks, down a cliff, or into a cactus. My body aches.

Today I gave away all of my candy.
It got to the point I ended up giving out clif bars to last few kids who were already on my doorstep.

Alas the perks of living in a "nice" neighborhood that gives out "better" candy.

We bought a couple bags of candy and waited to hand it out, three kids showed up all night. Portland sucks, nothing but hipsters and mustaches.

Same, but the problem here was rain. Definitely no hipsters (save me) in my neighborhood.

U-Lock 1, zombies 0.

We had an influx of kids this year because the house down the street did a haunted house. The street was lined with cars the whole night. We usually get about 20 and let the kids just grab handfuls because I don't want the candy in the house. This year, we had to limit kids to a couple pieces each.

And then we went out for mexican food and saw Tony Clifton.
