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)

personally i only look at SS/FG. sometimes poke my head into the track forum or the commute forum, but most bore (or is it boar) me.

Bikes: IRO Jamie Roy (fixed-gear commuter), Gary Fisher Rig 29er SS, Trek Madone 5.5, Specialized Allez Comp, Marin Mt. Vision Pro, Specialized M2 Hardtail, beater Nishiki fixed-gear conversion, Gary Fisher Rig 29er SS

Advocacy & Safety forum (I guess I just can't get enough of helmet/earphone/bike-lane debates.), followed by commuting, followed by SS & fixed-gear. Save the best for last .

Rarely ever peek into the others. Checked out the "Alt Cycling Culture" forum when it was first added, but I have neither a large garage, a welder, nor a bunch of time on my hands so I'm better off avoiding that one, lest I get the urge to start constructing tall-bikes .

You're right. I lied. I'm actually usually covered in mayonaise or vaseline, depending on how long it's been since I went to the grocery store.

I read the mechanics forum when I have a problem.

Road / mountain forums scroll too fast for me to keep up with.

Commuting is interesting sometimes.

As is "alt bike culture" when it's not someone asking questions about their stock Dyno Cruiser.

I read fixed / ss whenever the hive mind taps me on the shoulder and tells me to spend more money.

Campy makes an abacus, but it is base-6, and thus not compatible with JIS abacuses (which are base-5). However, Phil Wood makes an abacus base-converter that allows you to transfer data easily between JIS and Campy (ISO) abacuses.
