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 saw this thing the other day, the hamster dance or whatever. So funny. Let me see if I can find it in my Netscape cache. After I finish listening to Tupac's new album. And fill up my gas tank for $5.
