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)

somehow a couple of those pics remind me of when i lived in the philly area...every time me and my family would go downtown, we'd go through neighborhoods like in that second pic...i don't remember it that well, but some of those neighborhoods really made me nervous. north philly? heh...no.

I'm on 39th and Lancaster ave (shown in the first and last pic). The others are on my rides to the Aldi at around 47th and market (that is the blue line shown) and on my way to Checker's to get chili cheese fries.
