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)

so...
snowboarders = fixies and skiers = roadies
...but I'm a skier who rides fixed, so... now I'm just confused.

also, props to this thread for combining skiing, biking, Cleveland (^), and that South Park episode.

Where does the sniper on the hill top come in, picking off the riders 1 by 1... Damn, that would be pretty impressive picking off a moving target like that at 800 yards.

Probably not, but I think this may be the most astute question anyone has ever asked in BFSSFG.

Why do I always get called Cleveland on this forum? That's not my handle.

Hell, I'm from Florida.

Are you the one that keeps calling me Cleveland though? If I'd've known you were from here I wouldn't have thought you were being condescending.
