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)

i've never gone to iu. a lot of my friends go there. most of the kids i didn't like in high school went to purdue. i'm curious what your attraction to indiana public universities is, if you're from california.

I was born in Bloomington 22 years ago, Does that get me like an honorary title of some kind? Besides Place of birth on the Birth Certificate? I want to go back, I am at Mississippi State now.

Hahahaha, thats basically what everyone wonders. I get instate tuition here cause one of my parents lives here and I didn't get into the schools I wanted to go to in cali, but I'm hoping to transfer after this year. Not being an indiana native, I didn't know too much about each school.

The only good thing about this town is the 30 or 40 really cool, down to earth fixie riders. Theyre alot different than the frat boy ******bags, engineering nerds, etc. Most out of staters don't really like it here either.

Were you conceived in a dormitory? If so, which one?
