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)

legalize it: once i get my mtb bike fixed up, i'd love to go. for now though, i'll stick to pavement. have fun.

marked001: hopefully next time.

nocoins and all other interested parties: how about 11 at the italian fountain? if anyone wants to go but this is a bad time, speak up and we'll try to adapt. otherwise, 11. just in case NOTE: the italian fountain is the cul de sac behind(north-west) of the art museum.

can't wait to ride.

iam so pathetic...i went out to mcglincheys tonight and got terribly drunk.... i dont think I will be riding until 1pm.... i will go by the fountain at 1 and see if anyone is there that wants to ride. I am sorry I am so lame... i am still going riding tomorrow...but since I am an 7-5 working day type of guy, I need my saturday to catch up on some much needed sleep (and hangover time) ... this is the same reason I am not going to the swap meet tomorrow.... again...MEGA LAME.... anyway, if you see my Fuji Track bike with a makeshift metal fender and the words "nocoins" written across the top tube, stop me and say "hey ****er, lets ride" have fun tomorrow if i dont see any of you.

I will be doing both, going to the swap meet and riding. So... me and the NOCOINS bike will be there. if you have a specific place and time to meet, I should be able to do it... unless I find a lot of stuff at the swap meet... then i may have to ride home first with my treasure.

thats ****ing cool, I was talking to Cowboydan about the trikes that were there (kinda laughing about it because I cant picture anyone riding those through philly all drunk and crazy) and dan said he would love to have one of those. I will tell him to look at this post and he will probably PM you asking for the number so he can get one of the other trikes.

thats just ****ing cool.... i cant wait to see it built up on the road.
