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)

I have a bike rack(well, it belongs to a friend but he no longer owns a car) that I use when I am going between college and my parent's house(2.5 hour drive). Only other time i've ever used it was when I had to take my car(which i use once a month tops) back to the lot I keep it parked in(20 minute walk) and I didn't feel like walking back so i threw on my bike.

^^Wow. I hope who ever rides that doesn't get gored by those handlebars- then again, that's probably the least of their worries.

This other thread made me lol almost as much as this one. Enjoy wasting the next 15 minutes of your life.

https://www.bikeforums.net/alt-bike-culture/368985-fiberglass-bicycle-open-letter.html


The intent is have bumpers to provide protection in a low speed bike-truck crash. (Although I hit a few cars and totaled them)....I will state this again: Picture a 55 pound battering ram mounted on a set of bicycle rims. All the cars I hit are gone, with about $5,000.00 worth of body damage each, so if you *insist* on a photograph of a car after I hit it, I will have to find a used car that nobody wants, put a sandbag in the fairing of the Type 7, and ram the car. I would like to carry out this stunt with someone videotaping it, so I can put it on youtube. Please be patient. I will ram the car with one foot on the main tube, and kick the bike into the car, as I jump off, to avoid injury. I swear the Type 9 saved my life once when I was 'right hooked".

it's really not very tarck though... might it not have actual gearing to boot?

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
