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)

Conflict is what some people like.

Mostly dark right now. Far too cold for riding, and with the possibility of snow tonight and tomorrow (and certainly rain if not), it'll be a while before I can do anything but practice trackstands on my new bike

WK: Unfortunately I agree that "Conflict is what some people like." It's really more like people seem to thrive on conflict...That's why the nightly TV news has an "if it bleeds it leads'" mentality (or maybe that's where we get this attitude from~it's sort of a chicken and egg thing). Threads posted here that are not about controversial topics or contain controversy often die a quick death. Just my 2c...

I honestly believe most of us here enjoy sharing knowledge and giving each other s**t. Those that forget to bring their grain of salt usually don't stay long. If I wanted sunshine and smiles I'd buy a recumbent and hang out in their subforum. Oh yeah, it's supposed to be overcast and in the high thirties with a chance of snow mixed with freezing rain tomorrow. Cheerio!

Mid 70's sunny and incredibly low humidity at about 40%. I've got this one month of great weather before summer hits and all I've been able to do lately is ride down the driveway to get the mail.

From: Northern Virginia - just south of the normal people
mid 30s and small flurries as I cruised in the office door this morning.

Just 'cause it ain't a choir meeting don't mean it ain't healthy.

I love razzing the west coast / Lake Michigan coast and I don't have to worry about dying in a hail of AK fire as a masked assailant silently pedals past on his fixie.

All things considered, this is much healthier environment that when I was posting on rapforums.net, to say nothing of my gangsta rap career.

Good thing I retired.

All you sally's come on over this side of the country! - you need some pain and hardening! Too much sunshine up your butts! Too much wearing of winter coats when its only 50 degrees! Come on! BRING IT! Sorry - a touchy subject at times. BUT, I do like watching snowfall, so yesterday was still some form of a treat for me since it wasn't bitterly cold.

Haven't checked out weather.com yet today, but yesterday they claimed that today would be the same as yesterday, at least weather wise. Upper 60's, no wind. Although, later in the day it's supposed to get windy as a front moves through and brings some more rain/snow to us for a couple of days.

And confrontation on the internet is rarely more than giving **** and taking ****. It's part of the fun.

Update to the forecast for Window Rock says that the chance of rain is just on Saturday, with temperatures dipping into the 50s tomorrow. Really strange for it to be this warm already.

There's still a certain bond, even admist the strife. While there may not be love lost in some cases, there creates an understanding in others.

Here's from Yesterday morning, waiting for the trolley.
