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)

Fixed gear haiku

I want to read some oh so beautiful fixed gear related haiku. They can be as ridiculous or as serious as you'd like!

I apply pressure
To the pedals beneath me
I am infinite

or

Stupid top-tube pad
Ridiculous riser bars
I am so bitter

i should get bright rims
or painted-to-match tri-spoke
then girls will notice

nothing more zen than
having multiple track bikes
sheer simplicity

i hate you parts bin
many parts short of a bike
ebay? craigslist? *sigh*
