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)

Although some consider it poor fashion form to wear socks with sandals, i would be tempted to wear those with my sandals to show off the toes.

I am confused by your post and the point you want to make. I'm glad that you are healed from your injuries, where they cycling related?
What do you mean when you say "the aggressive cycling game"?

I think he's taking an artistic approach to showing his bike(s) and friends. Since he's a tattoo artist, he may enjoy art too. I think the pics are cool. I wish I still had my old Nikon camera...some of the lenses I had for that thing were insane.

Ah, interesting. I just put "aggressive cycling" and the injuries together and thought another injury was lurking around the corner.

Now, using bikes in art is cool, and I'd like to see more of that.

oh yeah, not sure what aggressive cycling is...maybe what bike messengers do is aggressive? I'm from the country man, so aggressive to me is like running into a cow on the roadway.

If you had lurked for a bit before prematurely ejaculating you might have noticed a few threads where some of these pics might have been well received:

cool thread, but I agree with @prooftheory that we already have threads for things like this and that it doesn't deserve or need it's own.

EDIT: In addition to agreeing with Prooftheory I also would have worded it differently
