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)

It gets better. He's using the messenger strap cellphone attachment. I bet he keeps his cell phone in there and calls his friends... "hey, what up... nothin... just chillin' on the strand, practicing my no-handers and skids... "

I agree; the hair is so much bigger than Nathan's. Do play some Gary Numan and Tubeway Army on your videos, though. For us old folks.

I didn't mean to rag on that kid. I think everyone should ride down the sidewalk pointing a video camera at their face! then wee could all see how stupid we look, and stop ragging on strangers

+1 He probably has mad skills, but can't show them due to Schrodenger's Cat.

I would like to posit a query: What is it called when one takes sexual cycling videos of oneself, then masterbates to said images?

i hate people who post threads like this and who also go round bumping year old threads with nothing meaningful to say.

i say that assclown should be the word used to describe the OP.
