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)

A roadie: " I don't see many folks training on FG in the summer."

Me: "I'm not training I'm just enjoying this ride and this beautiful day."

Some folks are so conventional.
Some days I go out on my road bike for and hour go home and get the track bike and go out for another hour or two.

just cruising around tonight with my roommate a guy in a pickup yelled at me

"You need a lady on the front of that bike if you're going to get anywhere"

I think that's what he said, it was a bit garbled.

Me, my friend, and my little brother were riding into town, I had my bike, my friend had his, and my little brother had no other choice but to ride my tandem by himself. At a stop sign, this dude rolls up in a BMW, rolls down the window and says, "haha hey look! It's the lonely ******!" Then drives away. It was hilarious.
