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)

Back in the day we used to hit a duckpin bowling alley. Same ball as candlepin, but shorter versions of tenpin style pins.

If you ever come visit, I'm not allowing you to drink Dr. McGillicruddy's.

I grew up and lived in NH/MA for a long time, but my parents are from the midwest, where candlepin bowling doesn't exist. My dad jokingly calls it "overhand" bowling. Side note: playing it that way WILL get you thrown out of the bowling alley.

10-pin, candlepin, whatever, both are pretty fun.

Fair enough. However, if you ever come to Chicago, you gotta drink some Malort. It's a Chicago right of passage.

Forgot you travelled extensively. I love Malort man. I'll admit it's an acquired taste, but I dig it. Malort and Coke with a squeeze of lime? I prefer it over Captain and Coke any day.

Sweet. If I weren't an Apple fanboy, I'd go for a Samsung or one of the Nexus phones.

Dear Scrod,

How often (if ever) do you ever run red lights and stop signs?
