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)

Fixed = date ?

Funny this thread popped up today.

Yesterday my bike got picked up without me even near it.

I was eating with a couple of friends and when we left to grab my bike it had a note tucked under the brake cable that said, "your bike is pretty! custom frame?" with an email address. I found it very indearing so I wrote a quick email yesterday telling the person about my bike and asking about their's but no response yet.

Say, what does IDM stand for?

(i love asking this question in real life. it's gotta be one of the most embarassing acronyms to try to explain with a straight face.)

count me out of that scene. bleh. I'm for riding down to sandbridge and sprinting through the thick suburban neighborhoods. the roads are sooo smooth.

Rose, the extremely attractive bass player of Babe the Blue Ox, was once heard to say, "Shoot! My bass gets more tail than I do!"

It was a pretty nice bass.

don't do it, dates are horrible, relationships are even worse... interacting with other humans is the worst unless your three sheets to the wind or riding past them very quickly.

but i refuse to date non-bikers. i tried it last year and it was awful. she even opened her taxi door without looking. ugh! what the heck was i doing in a taxi anyway?

i think i need to fall more often at zero speed in front of hotties. apparently, it works.

either that, or go to CM.

yeah, i've noticed that it's getting harder and harder to get a girlfriend in kc without a car.

screw it. saves me more money that way. no insurance, no gas, no expensive dinners, no flowers, blah blah blah. cars (and girlfriends) are for suckers.
