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 think the two on the sides are dead. They both have their eyes closed and they have both been impaled by a bicycle.

I see that. Then I suppose it's rigor mortis that's sustaining those fetching poses.

No hatriotism here. I was just wondering what dead girls have to do with a bike race. Regardless, I'm still looking forward to it.

my wife and daughter like it so whatever you have to say does not matter much.rather than knocking other people's art you should try to make yourself happy

don't be a hatriot

I can't really say I approve of the poster - it's a bit...uh....it's a bit of a lot of things...but not like it matters if any of us approve anyway. I'm still going. And I'll be sporting the greatest damn haircut you've ever seen. Maybe some camo, too. And some Nascar tattoos might fit at that point.

but for serious. Less fighting. More riding. I've seen some of the other stuff Ugalde's done. This is tame in comparison.

The question concerned the content, not the the presentation. The art is great. Nice job on the shading. I should've complimented it earlier.

Less fighting, more riding. Yea.

I have a bag with a panel of camo. I wasn't going to bring it, but if there's going to be a theme...

rumble thru the bronx

Damn. I ran through it once. Anyhow Robert Clemente checkpoint seems the one curb ball thrown at you. Also Howell Grove was like further up north than the marking on the Google map. It gonna be a long race!

well, I'll say this: it's a pretty straightforward course once you start working your way east.
varying terrain; it's gonna be challenging.

there's also many points where you've gotta get off the bike and run for it.
