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)

He's a rocket scientist, not a bike mechanic

I'm sure he went to walmart and bought the cheapest, disposable bike he could find.

bikewise, there is so much wrong with that picture...crappy bike, crappy frame. he could at least get toe clips...what if his feet slipped and locked up the front wheel?

i dunno...man, for a rocket scientist...

It's a nomex flight suit. Fireproof. A good idea in case that rocket explodes.

Or maybe he wanted a bike he could crash? Anyway, rocket scientists aren't really reknowned for their sense of style.

Ghost-riding?

If you mean drafting, that would probably be a no-no.

ghost riding is when you jump off of the back of a bike, and let it keep rolling with a "ghost" riding it. somehow i don't think it would work very well with this setup...
