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)

Hey! Where's mine? I just saw that sweet orange ride (KHS Aero Track?) today on my way to class, and I saw a guy walking a pink fixie around the diag a couple days ago.

How did I know that this would be the September that Ann Arbor jumps on the fixie train?

haha i'll get your IRO next time i see you


that guy with the pink fixie is awesome. it's a schwinn varsity, converted. he works (or used to) at the coffee shop by student bike shop, behind nickel's arcade. i've only talked to him once, two years ago, when i saw this craaaaaazy bike with only one gear.

at the time i was pushing this crappy 18speed mongoose mtb. he let me try the pink bike out, and BAM! another fixed gear rider is born.
