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)

looking for a picture

i used to have this really cool image on my computer that i found on the internets but i must have deleted it by accident because i cant find it and i havent been able to remember where i originally downloaded it from. it was a drawing/painting of a guy with old timey nickers and hat and i think he had a backpack and he was standing next to like a single speed touring bike. iirc, he was in the countryside. it wasn't super detailed but a lot of muted earthy colors. if it sounds familiar to anybody could you post a link or some info? it made a really good desktop wallpaper and i miss it.
thanks.
