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)

Providence is a pretty good option, actually. There's lots of schools so cute girls abound. There are definitely fixed gear riders, and it's a snap to come up to Boston or go down to NYC.

Would that be a snappy bike ride?

I visted Savannah once, and purchased a vial of crack as a souvenir. I also saw a car break-in stoped via the owner stabbing the offender!. That is a crazy place. Run like hell

Well, it's only about 60 miles or so to Providence from Boston so it's within riding distance if you want to get technical. But rithem from this forum lives in PVD and he's always driving up here for rides and bringing other Providence kids with him. So it's really easy to get up here. Also, during the week, there's a commuter rail from Providence that you can ride for, like, $10. New York is farther away, but there are loads of trains and busses. Also, flights are generally cheaper out of Providence. Sometimes when I fly back to Seattle (my other hometown), I fly from Providence to save money. Providence is the bomb.
