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)

hey wait --- if no one is doing anything tonight i vote that you all come down to my moms. she will totally make us all spaghetti, she has loads of extra pajamas for everyone, and we can make the slingshot thing for 46x17, and we can shoot him into the pool! then we can all ride back to the city tomorrow. we can also ride to hellyer, hop the fence, and do some tresspass-races.

Again, is my suffering for naught? I have a sprained thumb, people.

If someone has a tandem, I could totally be the guy in back. Other than that, I sure hope that Sherbert Tights calls when (if?) y'all hit the Mission.

dudes, hanging at moms means that mom springs for beer. she practically forces you to get the fancy stuff.
