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)

Refers to a distortion of space time in a gravity well, shortening both apparent distance and time.

That'd be cool. Do you want me to redraw it more chiaroscuro style? Line art isn't really the best for silkscreening, it would be better as large patches of light or shadow.
