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)

analogy fill-in for friday.

Last night, I was thinking about all of the places we get information from. This thought crossed my mind, and I'm putting it out there:

Please complete the following phrase:

"Sheldonbrown.com is to FGG as..."

Sheldonbrown.com is to FGG as Che Guevara is to high schoolers interested in socialism.

What a timely post. Two weeks until the 40th anniversary of his death.

It is completely possible to be Socialist and hate Che Guevara. You're basically pulling the "You're against the war? Why do you hate freedom?" of Socialism.

By the way, how many "war criminals" did Che Guevara have killed again?

I intended my comments to fall more into the joke category than the "You're against the war? Why do you hate freedom?" discussion might. And that also goes for the scintillating discussion unfolding in the "Riser Hate Club Thread"

Sorry if that wasn't clear. And yes I do think you can be a Socialist (or be sympathetic to socialist ideals) and "hate" (or at least disagree with the tactics used by people like) Che Guevara.

that being said, Fight the power!

yeah, the sex pistols reference wasn't a compliment. i like sheldon a lot, but he's not quite an "iggy and the stooges." moss icon is a little harsh i think.
