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)

oh dear

I don't think a Bianchi ad would feature a skinny skanky skeezbag, but what I don't know about marketing I make up for with alliteration.

Not Michelle, the twins. Nicky and Alex (the sons of Uncle Jesse and Aunt Rebecca). Before they were swapped out for the long-haired toddlers, they were babies. Those babies were my cousins. I am 3 degrees of separation from Alanis Morrisette, YES!!!!
