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)

He's so good at drinking while trackstanding that he impresses women on TLC. Look at that expression. You'd never get that look from a woman inside your TV with a freewheel bike.

Me. It's another HGTV clone, and they dumped all the shows from Discovery Home onto it. It's like the Spike TV for women type of channels.

Thankfully Discovery is still pretty decent at nighttime (and dinnertime, if you're into the Cash Cab gimmicky shows like I am), and History is alright.

If you have digital/HD I highly recommend the Science channel. It is the only Discovery network channel that is pretty much always decent at any given time.

I have my ulock mounted. Much easier when I'm just riding for kicks without a destination or reason for a backpack.

over the weekend i was driving to the mall...my bike was at school 370 miles away....and some dude cruised by on a geared scott with bullhorns that had bar end shifters. so i was walking in the mall and saw his bike u-locked to a bench through the front wheel. he had cross stop brakes and bar end shifters on his scott hybrid. But what topped it off was his outfit. Yes he had his right pant leg rolled half with one pink chuck taylor and one bright green chuck taylor and of course he had a sweet zip hoodie on with his hood up....i laughed so hard. i wish i got a picture

I've come to love this love and mount, very sturdy. But, the lock is a bit tough to get out of the mount, usually have to give it a wack with the palm to get it out quickly.

negate the cable

And that is why we have belts and back pockets.

^McFly, your shoes are untied.

I roll a leg up too when wearing jeans. It serves a purpose, so **** it.

Whats wrong with a rolled up jean pantleg? I do it all the time, and I am far from tarckstar poseur. I don't even have a fixie yet, I just don't want to change into spandex everytime I ride and I like to keep my jeans without holes in them.

Granted, you do look like a jackass if you have a rolled up pantleg all day even when you're not on the bike.
