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)

Because he's spending his money incorrectly.

This is how you spend money correctly. *spends own money based on own personal tastes and priorities*

Any questions?
