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)

Yeah, but then the dude's hating on other people for wanting to join in on this fashionable alternative transportation trend that he started.

Go back and read his original post. They still drove to school. My guess is that geeknerd99 would have had more respect for them (deservingly so) if they had worn their regular clothes and rode to school on Walmart double boingers.
