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)

One of the best things about city riding in the UK is the double decker buses and their fantastic, 30 foot long drafts.

Considering that he dropped me like a fat prom date I am sure my speed was too slow for him...but I wasn't the one getting a free ride either.

What the heck is a Fred? Are these the full of themselves racers that don't acknowledge anyone and act insulted if they are stuck at the side of the road and you stop to offer assistance? I might be opening a can of worms, but I am getting too old and losing touch with my cycling slang.
