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)

I'd do the fight club, but I'm so fat and out of shape these days that it would be embarrasing...

Edit: jonb, yeah that's what I heard, throwing punches and ish..

i saw an ad for that too - it was advertised as a fusion between cyclocross and track riding...said something about strapping on fenders and helmets. sounded pretty interesting, ill try to track down the flyer.

what time are you guys heading out? though the idea of a fight club alleycat has had my attention for a tad over a month now. a checkpoint with a ring, climb in and have a little fun... kind of hard passing that up-

Hmm, I might do the "alley-cross" on the three-speed bike. Sounds interesting.

As for the Fight Club, I have other plans for Saturday night, and, as I said before, I'm slow right now.

Saturday morning ride to SJ will be fun though. I'm looking forward to it. Anyone is welcome, but you should try to ride fixed, for solidarity's sake...

*****-dawg. i'd have to bump a 7AM caltrain to make it up by 9. dont really see it happening this weekend, but have a good time. i'll probably be bumping around the guadalupe river trail downtown SJ in the afternoon, if you see a d0rk pullin a burley kid trailer with 52x18 that'll be me...
