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?

I played around last night, but I can't grab the brake consistantly with out a stupid flinch, but it can support wieght now. There's a purple line and some yellow jaundice like coloring from outer portion of my wrist upto the lower portion of the thumb. Basically, it feels like a big cramp in the palm of your hand with a sharp stab when you grab the wrong way.

Probably Friday: I've been watching the EW website and kind of want to get in on one of thier rides.

You did.

Remember the guy who played fake police officer and scared the crap out of the guy with the fake police sounds in his car?

That wasn't me.

But I was the guy on the red bianchi, running 48x15.

I saw you at the track a couple of weekends ago, the russians were there motorpacing.

hmm... when i saw her, i don't think she had short hair. i didn't catch her name, but the rumormill was that she's one of the fastest racers in the country and rides for the US women's team.

I'm not sure what was more impressive, her speed, her looks, or the fact she even amazed my truck driving/NRA/etc brother who isn't all that much into bikes.
