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)

would you like a fake loft to go with that track bike?

Man, I can't wait to be a grownup. I'll be sitting in my loft, have my track bike all leaning up against a brick wall. Listening to the Shins on my Nano and drinking some Willamette Valley Pinot.
Life is gonna be too sweet, man. Too Sweet.

If you get pissed off at imagery, you're honestly not going to make it far.

Wah wah wah, bike culture, wah wah wah, no one should ride fixed gears but me, wah wah wah.

Frankly, when "fixed gear bike culture" has a pop culture icon that's as big as Tony Hawk or Bam ****ing Margera, then maybe you have something to cry about in regards to an activity mass marketed.

But hey, whatever mang.
