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)

Saw this in Make: I think and got a bit of a kick out of it. The possibilities are just about endless.

Bikes: a bunch.

I've got a few of these PCBs.
They're pretty fun for nighttime group rides, but I never leave 'em on my wheels.

I can't see flikr from work, but I know what you're getting at. The thought crossed my mind because of the hub, but I don't think I could bring myself to go in public with it. Haha. I haven't come up with any original clever ideas, yet.

it was posted on the icebike mailing list i'm on, but i doubt have the technical know-how to put it together.

there are endless possibilities... especially for "veloganda":

"bikes are the best way"

"change lanes to pass bikes"

"hello. please don't run me over."

etc etc

I haven't built an X0Xbox.
That photo pool has a few users in it.

However, my friend Drew (who originally linked me to Limor's stuff) has built one, and battles his real 303 with it, in midi deathmatches. So far, there is no winner. Limor knows her stuff.

Uhh.. back to the Spoke POVs.. I should try to get some rolling shots taken with them on.
I normally roll on giant gears.

Circuit bending with pedals? We should hook up, that's my **** right there. Come check out JiveNation, there's 9 of us doing it at the same time.

I used to do some circuit bending, too. The best things I made were a Speak & Read with a Playstation controller & a TR505 with 2 Playstation controllers. I've deleted all my samples from my site since then, unfortunately.
