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)

He fell into a parked car. I think my bike probably hit him, but I'm not sure. Before I even got a chance to ask him if he was okay (because I'm not a dick), he yelled at me "watch where you're going!" I knew if I didn't leave then I was gonna end up smacking him (okay, so I'm kind of a dick), so I just left.

*****, i forgot. i answered no, never hit by a car, but when i was in 7th grade i was rolling up to the bike rack and this huge pontiac backed into me. i had no where to go and just kept yelling and she just kept coming until i was under her bumper praying that she stopped. she did, and turned out to be a teacher at my school and spend the next hour dragging me around to find the principal so i could swear that i wasn't at all hurt. ******** b@tch.
