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)

I'll be there. I guess someone heard my b*tching about the lack of a bostonl location and decided to take action, as I'm lazy.

Maybe put up flyers around/ LBS's, post on craigslist, spread the word?

I posted it on craigslist and sent a mass email to the Boston Critical Mass mailing list.

I'll try and make up a flyer and hit up some LBS, but I can't guarentee I'll get around to it.

Nope, I made a promise to be at BNB this week since I think it's been like a couple of months(!) since I've been there. I mean, Kit was making us all PB&J's on Sunday. I couldn't be like, "naw, I got better stuff to do," right?

We had 56 riders in Durham, NC. Both the media and local police were invited, but opted not to attend.

Ok, so I showed up at Copley Sq last night, and waited for about 15-20 mins. Nobody else showed up! WTF???
I did ride back home slowly, in silence, as my own little ride of silence, though.

I hope I was at the right place- where CM and some of the bikeforums rides meet up?
