Riding to work on the ss mtn conversion. I stop at a light.
A homeless guy starts yelling at me. "HEY! HEY! HEEEEEY!!!!" uh oh, I think. He's going to hit me up for $$
"Is that a fixed gear?" he says...
?!?! "Uh... no... It's a singlespeed conversion on a freewheel. See? You can coast..."
"Oh, that's cool. My ride is over there..." He points to an old road bike covered with bags and bags of stuff, cans, bottles, stuff.
"Ah, nice..."
"So hey man, you got any change?" He asks. I didn't.
"No sorry, I don't."
"Ok.... Have a good ride..."
"Yeah, you too."
