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)

Has anyone seen this movie? contested streets

If not, I might sign up to host a screening, if people would be interested in attending.

Ok, I am going to host sometime in August. Will get the details to y'all soon.

Edit:

This is a go, just got the info from TA. I am shooting for a August 17th or 24th screening date.

I got the movie and literature from TA yesterday. I am going to hold the screening August 17th at 8pm at my place. I am in Ditmas Park (central Brooklyn). I will PM all those who responded and feel free to contact me if you want to come.

One favor to ask, anybody got a video projector I can borrow for the night?

Thanks.

Is this the movie where TA was taking video footage of the 6th Ave. bike lane and all the cop cars parking on the sidewalk in Chinatown?

Not that I am aware. Just watched it a few days ago, very eye opening.
