fixed rear + front brake = bike you can ride anywhere, anytime!
mid 30s (°F) here. from the radar you'd think it was snowing in ann arbor, but it is not, i'm here to tell you. further south, on the other hand, may be a different story; certainly the sky looks dark in that direction.
so happy i glued the fixed cup on my bottom bracket last night. so happy!
