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 believe that's a John Fahey song. He's the Lance of acoustic guitar.

One of them used a cardboard box. Stop by your LBS and pick up a shipping box for a bike that was about your size. They're usually free and work should work awesome.

I don't know why they took the forks out. Seems like just taking off the stem/bars would be enough. Oh well.

you can fit a frame into a smaller box if you take the fork off - probably applies for a whole bike too..

How were the RPMs figured out? Someone should notify Professional cycling teams to install 650s on all their front wheels to increase efficiency.
White Aeropoop 650s.

Let's take a look at that article:

Armstrong attacks freedom of expression

February 18, 2009 at 10:46 pm · Filed under Cycling
Is there no limit to Armstrong’s arrogance? greenjersey is watching Eurosport’s coverage of the Tour of California, a race that makes the Tour of Spain seem interesting. The bunch was plodding up a long ramp when the American version of The Devil appeared running at the side of the group. He was carrying a trident with prongs fashioned from hypodermic syringes and showing the legend “LiveClean.” Rather amusing I thought but L.A. failed to appreciate the message and gave The Devil a sharp push and he went arse over tit in to the snow! greenjersey is unfamiliar with the California Penal Code it seemed like a case of common assault. I trust the Police Dept. will arrange a night in the cells for Mr Big.
Ya, that was a completely fair and balanced account of what happened, as was your post. While we're tossing opinions around I thought it was hilarious that he pushed the guy into the snow bank.

Here's the clip, btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3rjb4G8ZMI

Props to Lance for dealing with a common asshat.

Edit: just came across some photos of LANCE ATTEMPTING TO MURDER AN INNOCENT CITIZEN IN COLD, DOPED THE GILLS BLOOD: https://magliarosa.wordpress.com/2009...diabo-moderno/ ... oh wait, it's funny as ****.
