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)

What stuck in my mind from his "Swimming to Cambodia" was the sharp image he painted of bobbing up and down in the warm ocean water his head floating atop the waves like a receiver.

What a shame.

Yup, dead with his gray pants on. Didn't realize he was such a depressive. Sucky life. Nobody deserves that.
