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)

...I posted this over in A&S but I thought you folks would get a bigger kick out of it. Sorry I can't seem to post a linky thingy, but it's worth the copy/paste hassle.

I hope this is a joke, i.e. some kind of art school student film. If these douchbags really have nothing better to do than block on the interstate traffic because they seriously think the speed limit should be raised then they need to get a life.

I don't agree with these kids motive (raising the speed limit),but car culture around here is so overbearing it's nice to see a wrench tossed in the works every once in a while. If anything, this city needs to seriously start enforcing traffic laws. I think it's cool to see a CM style effect with nothing to blame but other cars.

Bikes: Lots. Mostly steel. Mostly heavy. Mostly geared, and very low, at that.

I think that's really a mindblowingly awesome way to start enforcing the traffic laws. The laws are there for lots of good reasons, and obviously they CAN be followed.

wow. I wonder what it would be like to have several waves of cars doing that maybe a mile or so apart. THAT is where it would get really cool.
