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 a great moment not too long ago where someone changed lanes basically right on top of me... I had to coast for a min to avoid running into their bumper.

They looked into the rear-view and we made eye contact, at which point I smirked and waved: "Hi! I'm here..."

Today I got offered the position of Trainer in my department, which means I will no longer have to work a 12 hour rotating shift.

I also sold my 88mm Chinese Carbon Clinchers, they were fun (looking) while I had them. Going to stick with the Wabis.

I could never understand how a band went from no name status to arena rock status in like a week. ****'s awful.

I think his "weirdness" is totally contrived. Like girls who call themselves "quirky" because they wear glasses with no lenses in them, and wear t shirts with kitties on them, but then you talk to them, and they are as boring and tame as a soccer mom.

Right, that means contrived, or fake.

He was good in Requiem For A Dream though, I'll give him that.

This, very much this! Or middle-aged women with short red (dyed) hair and weird color-combo-clothing...."I'm a bit crazy AHAHAHA (I'm really not crazy, just a bit insecure) and I really don't care what people think HAHAHAHA (I really care a lot what people think)"

I know. All the questions you asked him were quite valid, in helping him "pick" a bike. I think he was just throwing out compiled ideas from other "first year riders" and got butthurt when nobody was like, "oh those are sweet choices bruh" etc etc etc
