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)

How old are y'all?

After reviewing the Happy Alcoholidays thread, It made me wonder what the demographic of our beloved Fixed and SS forum is. I, myself am 18 but it would seem the majority of active posters her would be at least 21... So there it is, how old are y'all?

I'm 24, but I act like I'm 9. I think that technically makes me 15.
