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)

You are so beautiful, you should be guarded by monkeys. You are so beautiful.

i also want a constant supply of avocados and non-stringy mangos. and basil. and the greenbag tortilla chips from chicago. and i think i'll just take the bells brewery with me.
Oberon is my favorite!

Can we use the monkeys for the pictures of us in various compromised positions?

I have a feeling you guys would not like Dubai if you were on bikes. Pretty much the smallest car those guys drive out there is a Toyota Land Cruiser. That place is something else all together...
My dad may actually have to move out there within the next couple of years... I wonder how the dog will like living in the desert

If we could find away to take over hawaii and kick everyone off, I could start building a velodrome and then someone just needs to import monkeys.....how can I get people to leave the island?

I love falafel. I'm all in favor, but there has to be a few different vendors as falafel is a very individual food.

that's nuts! the trick is to get monkeys to wash the monkeys. if he can wash my bike, pour beer, bake pies, and do basic bike repair, he can wash himself.

I've met a few human bike mechanics where that wouldn't be true
