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)

You should have given the cop the finger with your mashed hand just for emphasis. Bonus points if the shards pop out and it starts bleeding when you do it.

I was the random guy that showed up some weeks during the summer. Old black[ghetto krylon] bianchi conversion. Syntace horns, red tape. Ran a brake sometimes.
I'm bad with names, I just recognised you from the picture.

My name's Jp.

Didn't you show up with a winter hat all the time?

Where are you now? still boston? I'm planning on coming back for a visit once I get some of this **** straightened out, Maybe I'll come play polo, or maybe I'll just hang out and do tricks and drink a couple arizona tall boys. I think that's all I really did at polo anyway.

Were you there when I played on my BMX bike like last spring and I took out justin by getting my peg in his wheel trying to kick the ball out?

I buckled my conversion and got a concussion the night of my orientation where I pretty much cemented living in florida for the next two years. this leaving boston karma is ****ed up.

Dag that sucks. I have a similar story so you dont feel so alone.

In the middle of Sept. I got a serious skull fracture due to a slalom board accident (or so Im told, I dont remember anything) that laid me out for a month. Now I was comming from a 25- 30 mile regular bike ride every day to nothing. So I was super stoked to get out and ride agian after being so lazy for so long. So I decied to get a ride to work and ride home in the bike, I got about a mile from my house and wouldnt you know it a lady decieds not to stop while she takes a left hand turn and Im in the middle of the intersection. So needless to say she plows right into me and ends up wrecking my beloved bicycle. What a way to try and get back on track.

So I feel your pain man and Im glad you were not seriously hurt.

Gotta to love making previous posts while stealing wi-fi from the city of savannah various other unknowing donors of bandwidth while working.

Hope **** goes good for you, even though we all know how you kids ride.

I stopped by a food place tonight and saw some girl working I haven't seen work there in months. First thing she asked, "get pulled off your bike by cops again lately?" Got to love the police.

sorry about your accident, no matter what a cop says, you can challengene them in court. If the car really clipped you, the cop is negligent in not writing it up as it happened (#1 - you may have a case aGAINST THE CITY BECAUSE OF THE INCOMPETENT cop. #2 the cop must have filed it somehow (or where was he/she?)- file an interrogation of the incedent (public access to legal files) - #3 your hand looks ok sorry about the wheel and frame I hope you will be back soon

That sucks big. Get the surgery, though bone doesn't fuse as fast as they told you. Not that I'm a doc or anything, but I've been told that.

I'm confused about the pics and the chain of events though, did that wheel kerplode on you and then you fixed everything and got hit like right then? Did the wheel get nailed or did it just kind of fail?

I think I got doored twice ever in boston. One of which was a cop, parking like a moron to go into a liquor store off duty.
