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)

Seriously. Some of these guys are terrible....

Yes, responding to your stupid comment proves that I was being strung along by somebody else. Go back to Logic 101.

Trucker hats. I've been wearing them for 10 years and don't see myself stopping anytime soon.

It's "cyclists", not bikers. "Bikers" wear funny leather outfits, most of them so new they squeak when they walk.



If you are going to troll, put some originality into it so that others may enjoy it, too.

I didn't see a pic of the OP in cycling clothes so I assumed it was a weak attempt at thread derailment.

OK...
I have received a kind of official warning from the mod's to stop 'trolling'.

I was just trying to have a good time, not to actually hurt anyone's feelings.
Personally I am not into biker caps, and was surprised by the defensive fervor of the responses and took advantage of it I suppose for my own amusement.

I didnt call anybody "names" or attack anyones character, which is not the case with alot of the responses that I received.

I have officially "dropped it" and will not attempt to do anything sarcastic like this again. I didnt know that it is called trolling here at the bike forums.

Joke hats and good rides for everyone!!!!
Best, Jake

There should be a specific trolling thread, made to egg people on and flame everyone. It could be titled "BFSSFG Catharsis" or something like that.
