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 sell over priced antiques to rich ****ers with poor taste. And I don't even get comission. Woo.

Were it not for my little sprint across town during rush hour I dunno if I'd be able to motivate to go at all. At least my boss is chill, the pay is steady and I just got a raise. If I'm still doing this in 2 years im going back to school.

Aint. life. GRAND.

yep.

*sigh* (back to beer)

I hereby revoke the respect just offered; clearly you don't want or need it.

first off, sorry to start an apparent flame war. not my intent. and i didn't post anything since cause i have no internet at my house. i love my job, wouldn't trade it for anything. sometimes it's hard. but i still love it. i wasn't trying to diss on anyone (notice that the entire last sentence was pretty much a disclaimer). i feel for all you and the (sometimes) bad jobs you hold. i'm just saying, that because this is a bike board we'd keep somewhat on topic. i've met a few of you on here and have nothing bad to say about anyone. people on bikes is cool. i just think that it's funny when it's all shiny and warm there are a ton of bikes and when it's ****ty there are very few. props to the not fairweather commuters. it's really awesome. and gettting hit twice in one day was the first time because i was going around logan circle and someone didn't look before turning onto race. not my fault. second time dude dude ran a red. it happens. no harm no foul.

sorry again. nothing but love.

-jason

This thread is almost comically bad.

We're all lucky enough to have jobs, and Internet access, and bicycles. Shut your ***ing traps.

I tried to do a backwards circle today. I couldn't. I couldn't try to try, it's too weird going backwards. even rolling down a hill backwards i couldn't do.
