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?

Memorial Park

Was that anybody from here that was riding around Mem Park in Houston last night on fixed gear bikes?

I was riding around on a borrowed Colnago road bike.

That was a couple friends & I. I saw a Colnago on the way out. That might have been you.
I was on a stripped chrome road frame w/ yellow tires. Finally, the rain stopped.

Fixxxie, I thought you moved already.
Heliumb, just how soggy is it over there. GHORBA still has the trails status as muddy.

The fruit loop was fine, just some puddles on the MUP. There are so many downed trees everywhere that the trails will probably still be muddy & filled with logs this weekend.

Yo yeah I saw you guys, two guys on fixed one with brakes and a girl on gear bike with her bag on.
Are you the guy with brakes or no brakes? I was riding a black borrowed Colnago road bike with my camo shorts on and a DeRosa cap. I should have talked to ya but I didn't want to look like some dork or something. When are you gonna ride again? Next time we can ride together a little. I'm in town until next Friday with pretty much nothing to do after work (I had to come back down and work my 2 weeks) Let me know
Hey Mike
Yeah I already got my house up in CO. and wife and kid are there so as soon as I finish up here I'm off. Last night I think those trials were muddy but there were a bunch of mountain bikers who looked all muddy like they
had been out there riding so I don't know if they opened them up or not.

I have rear brake on for the Austin side of MS150. There are only 2 guys I know that are into long-distance fixed. We mostly ride independently, but sometimes manage to get together. I'll pm next time I go.

p.s. Tour de Houston is tomorrow, if you've got nothing to do.
