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)

Transport for London ad - Awareness Test..

This public awareness spot is from Transport for London as part of their freshly introduced cycle safety campaign aimed at reducing the number of cyclists hurt on London’s roads. Effective use of the concept of inattentional blindness to illustrate the point - cyclists are easy to miss, watch out.

it's pretty cool and figured some here might find it interesting too...

https://urbanvelo.org/do-the-test/

I linked to the magazine that turned me on to it instead of directly to the ad partly cause urban velo - if you dont already know about it, is a pretty cool indie publication done by some friends of mine... they do a great job.

cheers.

Thing is, I totally read about this in a book a few days before finding this online, and it still fooled the crap out of me. Pretty cool, though.
