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)

oooh - scathing.

I had a chat with a guy who noted the rising popularity of said bikes. 'They're everywhere' - and this is Melburn, not SF or NYC or London......

I like them cause they are the best tool for the job - and above all, the best conversion of energy to speed going.

Elvis was popular too - and look at where he ended up. If it's a fad, it'll pass, like any other.

I stand by my passion and that I got into it because I love to ride, fast. Not because it was entry into some sort of alternative clique.

One word. Gay.

Gay is happy. Just ask the Flintstones
