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)

1. The path along the Grand Canal near 32nd St and McDowell Rd.

2. Junkyard on the path near 40th St and Van Buren St.

3. Tempe Butte, taken a couple years ago when only somewhat obscured by ugly office buildings.

Taken on Tuesday this week. about 2 miles from the city center (underbelly).



Same day.... a little earlier



If this traffic gets any worse, I'm going home!



Hmmmm...... the fog just burned off. I think I'll go do that ride again.

HELL (Houston, TX)
Uptown, I used to live on the outskirts of it.

these rails in the street are PURE evil.

I WOULD be making good money (ok more money than now) working downtown as a messenger but I decided not to take the job so that I could move from Hell to Heaven.

HEAVEN (Austin, TX)
a pretty weak skyline for a downtown? Well there are height restrictions for buildings in the city of Austin. I ride up/down this street every day to work.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...eet_Austin.jpg Don't bother biking here on weekend nights, too many drunk pedestrians.
This is the drag. the best bike shops are here.

Ironically, my heaven is hilly and my hell is hilly. And man it was hard to find decent pictures. I need to buy a camera.

Here's my first one, not really an underbelly.
Where's that in Chicago?
