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)

Bikes: Can't stand the damn things...

Hi all,
I know you're getting sick of hearing about this, but I leave for the AidsLifecycle charity ride in less than a week. To all of you who have donated, I sincerely thank you.

For those who don't know, I am participating in a 7 day - 585 mile ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles on a fixed gear. The money I raise helps researchers find an end to this ghastly disease and to people who already suffer from it. Unfortunately, I can not participate unless I raise 2500$. As I write this, I stand at 777$. I will have to cover the transportation for myself and my bike back from L.A., which leaves me with very little money... certainly not enough to cover the difference in raised vs. needed (or even rent, for that matter ). Anyway, if you are able to contribute anything, great! If not, could you please pass the word along to your riding buddies, employers, and/or family?

Here is the link to my page https://www.aidslifecycle.org/1948 One can contribute by clicking the "make a donation" link underneath my goofy ass picture.

Thank you so much...
Torrin

Well theres a 100 from me, the rest of you ante up..

They have a payment method where you can just charge a small amount every month, really I am sure most of you spend more on tubes each month.
