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)

good luck...i hate starting new jobs since it always takes a couple of weeks to get comfortable with the new patterns, and i want to do well at most jobs (otherwise, why do it?) and the mixture of new things and self-imposed pressure and crap = a sort of uneasiness...if you're like that, try not to be. everything in life goes more smoothly if you learn to relax. then again, you're only doing it for a bit. so have fun.
