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)

Once again I'm jealous of Chicago kids. they can say "***hole" on there without the asterisks! Those guys and girls have ALL the fun.

I think I saw you rolling down Division on Friday before noon. I wasnt sure if it was you and the only thing I could think of to yell is "BOSTON!" and didnt feel like being even more of a jackass than I already am.

Please lock this thread. All it's doing is causing a further divide between cyclists and creating more bile on this stupid message forum. The "We don't want them here!"/"We don't want to be here anyway!" snafu is not what this site is supposed to be about, nevermind the festering boil of lowest common denominator soap opera bull**** it's turned into.

I don't even know what that means, but it's creeping me out.
