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)

True tales of Sheldon in love

I was talking to John Allen this evening and he related to me that Sheldon's wife Harriet's first words to him were, "I see you ride a fixed gear." I was amused.

"so if you win that jonny cycles raffle, i get the bike right? you already have a custom coming"
