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)

Looks like he's doing a little transporting of the second one home. Pretty good idea the more you look at it. You ride a bike everywhere and find a second, how do you get both home? I think we just found out.
