No man....See you are in New Orleans... Heard that getting around in a cage is nearly impossible. What's your take on riding after Katrina? Singlespeed or whatever?

Riding is somewhat better, though. Fewer cars on the side roads, albeit more construction debris. I have had three or four tire punctures since returning in early October. (Also patched three punctures in tires from the girlfriend's car.)
There are a lot of new bicyclists now, thanks to Plan B (https://planb.bikeproject.org/).
One of the most interesting things about the post-Katrina landscape is that there are nice bikes being thrown out right and left as flooded houses are gutted. I have salvaged a few parts for my own evil purposes, and a friend of mine rescued an old Raleigh Sports three-speed that we are restoring.
I prefer riding fixed in the city. It's flat. But I also put a lot of miles on, ahem, geared bikes.
But I digress.

Rollo is an incredibly annoying way to market a silly-looking bicycle.
