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)

You have my condolences.

Life has peaks and valleys. I hope you've found the second.

I like you're attitude - if you're gonna do it, go all out.

Sorry to hear about your accident, it sounds a bit crap. I think the lesson here is that leaving london and the 1% crew has dire consequences. Heal fast man.

Damn IOC! I'm reet sorry to hear 'bout all your woes mate. Thats a pretty impressive list and I just hope you're not going to be adding anything else to it soon.

I just hope you heal fast and show NYC that it shouldn't be messing with the 1%.

Damn, y'all are fricking cool as hell. It's all good in the hood (cept for the time off the bike). I'm pretty sure I can score the money for a new frame off this. It's the least this woman can do. Gotta go down to the precint today and file the accident report (told you I mismanaged the accident) but I have a friend who's a cop who's coming with me. Thanks for all the offers of help, guess we'll have to arrange another nyc (non)meat up.

Get better. I understand the pain. If it is the RAP, I will cry later because I am in too much pain. We will dicuss that later too. Your health is more important.
