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)

Kenneth's words haunted Kermit that night. He didn't uproot himself from a backwater midwestern city -

that no one had ever heard of, and move to Williamsburg for this...

"...another hipster...just another hipster....."

The words hit hard. He lay there, not really sleeping. For how can one rest, with shattered dreams, and not wake bleeding?

I just did a "Grover" Google Image Search and this was the first thing that came up. Seriously, try it, it's weird.

I think Kermet and George need to brawl to see who deserves to be our fearless leader. Think kickboxer with the glue on the gloves.

seconded. george is a classic in his own right, but the muppets are timeless.
