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)

Have this picture of snow across the street instead:

How much snow is that

Where is this? Buffalo area? lake affect snow?
When I was growing up in NoVA I used to dream of days with this much snow. The DC area rarely gets more than 2 or 3" at a time.

Now I live where the sand looks like snow. Seriously, we've had people down from MN that are confused with the sand looking like snow here.

one day at polo we were hit with a bunch of flurry storms from out of nowhere.

I hate snow more than anything except.... how much I love being on my bike.
27 mph sustained winds w/ 35 mph gusts today, I rode to work and back. kinda fun.
I still hate snow, but it's not gonna keep me off my bike.
