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)

snowball's chance in hell

yep, super unplanned last minute.
that's how we roll.
which means: if ya wanna roll with us:
uptown bar, 'tomorrow' (barely) 11:30 am.
bad-for-ya food and at least one cocktail.
then, ice and ski bikes, and watchin' others fall down on ice. or not.
fall down.
ski bikes is what really matters.
and a whole lot more of the part that involves ice and bikes and...
um, beer?
rsvp? nope.
just be there.
we will, and if yer not...
don't blame us.

It's warm out.
There's going to be water on the ice tomorrow.
Even if the weathermen don't think so.
Plans sometimes work.

Quoted for prosperity. Thank you. This will come in nicely someday. Try not to empty your water bottle before leaving for the ride.

Bikes: Surly Long Haul Trucker set up for commuting and loaded touring, old Sekine road frame converted to fixed-gear, various beaters and weird bikes, waiting on the frame for my Surly Big Dummy build

I would have come, but I was busy playing with bicycles on ice elsewhere by chance:
