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)

Oh you mean bikes? It gets cold in San Diego. I started wearing arm warmers at night, especially when it gets foggy.

p.s. rubbing in our superior southern california weather really never gets old.
At least my state doesn't catch fire

Studded tires are key if you get ice and snow.
Just because I like useless facts, -40 degrees celsius is equal to -40 degrees farenheit.
