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 go out for lunch, and suddenly there's a two-page nonsense thread. sheesh.

Oh, and Chombo, even though I've seen that picture about 12 times, it NEVER falls to crack me up every time I see it. It'll take a very long time for that one to get old.

I should point out, for the benefit of our non-urban readers, that the legendary 2% maximum body fat rule for "hipsters" very conspicuously does not apply to the females.

No sweat. Although I've been called a hipster—so, I don't know if we're going by definition or just what other people think hipsters may or may not be. Although, I don't know how some of the "hipster" I saw riding today can stand weraing tight pants in the hot weather—but then again, they were going so slow that they were getting passed up by kids on razor skooters.

these days you have to rock a *black* iPod nano to be considered worthy in the hipster world. me, i am still rocking a generation 1 iPod because i like carrying bricks.

Why couldn't the bicycle stand up for itself?


Because it was two-tired.

according to the hipster handbook:

"There are Bipsters (blue collar Hipsters) who own pit bulls, work as bike couriers and carpenters, and have no patience with art school pretension."
