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)

Meth addicts soothed by stripping bikes for parts

Canada = crazy. And here's proof: "We've come across lots of sites littered with bikes and bike parts," Const. Peter Lane said. "They sit in the bush with hundreds of parts just fiddling with them all day... For some reason, they find fiddling with bike parts satisfies that need for stimulation," Lane said.

Here's a link to the complete story: https://www.canada.com/victoria/story...8-22991f5bd834

I like fiddling with bike parts too, hope that doesn't mean I'm a meth addict.

Yeah, I love working on my bikes.

So are bikes a gateway drug to meth?
