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)

Anybody got a floor and/or need a partner? I might be able to head down, and would be happy to costume up in a Green Hornet/Kato duo.

He was released yesterday and is resting at home. The worst of it seems to be a nasty bump on his temple (thankfully that's all it ended up being) and a fractured collar bone. Apart from his hunger, he seemed in relatively good spirits- laughing in-between stuffing his face.

I'm still looking for a team member. I don't have much in the way of a costume, but I could wear swimming goggles and jockeys over tights. Sweet.

I'll probably be there. If I'm allowed, I call "Green Lantern." He was always the most badass, because he has power over EVERYTHING, (except that which is yellow). Bad. I need a partner, but they cant wear any yellow.

whatthe**** ever. he can take things of ANY color and fling them at the yellow stuff he doesn't like. hell, he can take green paint and using his super-awesome non-yellow power, fling it over anything that is yellow. then its HIS.

and have you ever heard of a yellow bullet? a yellow garotte? a guy in a yellow skinsuit whose entire body is covered in a monocolor yellow tattoo with all yellow weapons? thought not...
