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)

Felt awesome to pass someone on a $5k bike on the way up the pass with my 20 year old rag tag single speed. And be able to fend him off in the sprint near the top.

well, it sounds like he figured it out eventually. i think most of the people i race have no idea we were ever racing, but i still get the satisfaction inside.
