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)

That's a LOT of stuff. I think he wins the 'Biggest Load Carried' thread. Look the the tiny gear though, bet it's not fast, even unladen.

Bikes: Custom Frame, 36s Paul Comp hubs w/ TSB by Marcus@Yojimbos, Campy Headset, Selle It. Gelflow / Campy Seatpost, Nitto stem, Sugoi 75 165 Cranks w/ crap BB, 3/16" chain, Yellow Techno 21s.

That's rad. You know if you tried something like that in an urban center in the United States you'd totally get fuucked with and probably cited by the cops.

It's cool to see that but I guess I'm a little confused as to why he's even got the bike on the front if he's just going to pull the whole thing! Ha ha.

I believe he is taking the recycling out to the curb. I like how he couldn't fit those last three plastic bottles into the bundles and had to use the handlebar basket.
