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)

Isn't it that soft rubby track. It might not be so exciting.

running tracks are made out of a soft rubber material to make it grea for running, ****ty for biking. Just take some time and hit Kissena.
