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've encountered messengers in more than one city who talk **** about BF, Fixed Gear Gallery, and internet bike nerds with pristine bikes.

Or the ultimate clash, penny pinching messengers who impulsively clean their bikes yet still have enough money to go drinking after work every day.

proper messenger clothes are basically anything that is worn for purely utilitarian value. shants, rain gear, crazy cold weather clothes, etc.

i've found that the more i stop caring about any sense of fashion and start caring about what clothes are best for riding in, the more i look like a messenger. oh ****ing well.

economically, (with sarcasm)

1. We ****n BF nerds are driving up the cost of track bikes & fixed gear parts so that messengers can't afford them anymore!

2. We S***n BF nerds can keep our race entry fees. they don't want to be soiled by our stickn money. Race organizers will no longer be accepting entries from non-messengers. GO AWAY ITS A PRIVATE PARTY AND YOU ARE NOT INVITED.

3. The term "alley cat" will be patented, any non-messenger organizing such an event will get their butts suited. This is a serious threat, messengers visit law firms everyday day, so they have connections!

Hey [165], do you know of anyone that has photos of that place
or the old punkin' donuts? I'm putting together an autobiographical photo set
and for some reason an entire era is missing.

Actually it has been to some degree already, but not by messengers (Dunhill), it will be again in some other way, probably by someone like Coke or Mountain Dew and it won't matter in the least being as there is no money in sueing people with no money and who can only be associated with illegal events by primitive flyers and psuedonyms. It's usually one word btw

Messengers do not own urban cycling culture. Nor do urban freeriders nor commuters. Nobody owns it. Anyone who claims otherwise has either an axe to grind or an ego to pad.
