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)

This dude who used to work where I do would grab a few pieces of copper from the scrap bin and take them home. He did this everyday for about a year and cashed it in at the recycling center for almost a thousand dollars.

Is there still a Sentry on Locust by Atomic Records? I used to live out of that dumpster. The neighborhood was just borderline enough that not a lot of people were diving, and nobody cared that we did.
