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)

New York City Area fixed gear ride

This ride is listed by the New York Cycle Club. It is only for owners of fixed gear/single speeds, recumbents, and tandems (that ought to make an interesting mix of bike cultures). You don't have to be an NYCC member to participate, but helmets are required.

Sunday, December 4
B17 40 miles 10:00 AM
fixed bent tandem ride!


From: George Washington Bridge, NJ side bike path entrance
Show up with your beloved fixed gear, singlespeed, tandem,
recumbent, tricycle, unicycle, or any other human powered wheeled
machine - except a regular old geared bike! We'll take a mostly flat
route to Nyack, where we'll stop at the Runcible for snacks.
Snow, ice, or heavy rain will cancel. Light rain or cold weather
won't. Please check the nycc.org message board if in doubt.

The mostly flat route? What fun is that!
I’m not knocking this ride though, hell…I’ll probably show up since I like circuses. Throw in some fixed gear tall bikes into the mix and I’m there!
