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 learned the other day that when a door opens 10 feet in front of you go in to a skid and lay your ass down and you'll only wind up with 9 stitches and a new front wheel!
