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)

Ride or a pub crawl? I'm 20 so I'm out if it's a pub crawl. If it's a ride I'm in.

Hmm...I wouldn't say crawl, but these things do have a way of ending at a bar. We always got efarrar in when it mattered, though.

We'll ride until it starts raining, and then hit the nearest purveyor of Old Style. Eh?

Nah, we'll use weather.com's weather rather than wunderground: https://www.weather.com/weather/hourb...nav_undeclared more hours of non-rain.

There. I am pretty po' so I won't be barring it up too much. We should definitely spend 99.9% of our time outside.

back passenger seat or trunk i'd guess, there is always the possibility I left it at ERV, in which case it is not made of titanium so the country clubbettes would have thought it was refuse.

need is a relative term. i just hand tightened the front wheel and went slow.

Moximitre, 7:40 at white hen then?

My roommate just witnessed a shooting in Wicker Park (!), so if not by the swings, just look for dudes on bikes thereabouts...
