I am a big clyde but after lurking on the bike forums and riding my entry level hybrid around town I am getting the urge to build my own single speed commuter with flip flop hub for the veloway not far from where I live. 
The cycling bug is biting hard.

I just received 4 50mm carbon clinchers from china ... I didn't need them. Can't wait to build and beat the crap out of them.

Every time someone writes a post using ellipses (...) instead of single periods, I want to scream.
edit: didn't even realize the post above me did it till after I posted. My confession still stands.

I tell people all the time I ride an old single speed road bike, as soon as you say fixed in this town you are ruined forever.

I love Austin. Ended up riding without a helmet for most of the trip (which is something I never do). Also, I'm considering going brakeless.

Still kicking.
I just don't understand people who get electric bicycles for the sole purpose of fitness. If for commuting or for something out of utility, I can understand. For fitness, it just seems like cheating...

I saw a person on one during my ride today and the person looked like she was really suffering but was going about 25 mph and not pedaling at all. No fenders, no bikerack, nothing. She blew past me, on a railtrail(took it to avoid the public school letting out.) Had to tt it to catch up so I could figure out how fast she was going, once figured out, I just slowed it down and continued on my planned route.

Your cog is slipping.
I wish I didn't get rid of this bike.
