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: I built the Bianchi track bike back up today.

I think I might have just fell in love with lycra. Damn me.

Went to go see Spiderman 2, then hit the bar, then went riding. I had to stop to adjust my seat (something I've been needing to do since I got my new cranks - thanks jitensha).... Anyways, I figured what the hell, it's 2am, who's going to see me? So my Carhart jeans went in the bag, and I was left in just the shorts...

I'm really surprised at the difference it made. My legs felt like hot knives cutting through butter in the air. It was really nice.

But unfortunatly, I'm not willing to go out during the day when people could see me wearing it.... And don't want to show up at work with only lycra on my body...

WTF do I even care? All I know is that I went a lot faster on my ride home tonight than normal, and I think a lot of it was the shorts.

Hey... if it's good enough for Spider-Man... Just wear a mask.

There's a bike cop who always patrols my commute. Whenever I see him, I deliberately flaunt my disregard for traffic laws even more than usual (if that's possible). I've always secretly hoped that he'll try and chase me. I know I can't outrun a radio, but I can sure as hell outrun a 5'10 260lb cop on a MTB.

It took me a few nights in jail to realize it ain worth F'in w/ cops. We have copsicles (bike pigs I like to call them) in my town too and its halarious. I mean it's such a small town but there are cops everywhere. They are so bored the bike pigs pull cars over

I'm going to be out in SF the first week of August. I think I'd pay to see this.

Nah! They'd have a ghetto bird on you and you'd end up on "Cops" being bludgeoned by the aforementioned donut on wheels. I can hear it now:
"He has no brakes!"
"He's a madman! Hell on Wheels!"
"Such flagrant disregard for the law! We can only hope he doesn't kill anyone in his rampage!"
"What's that? He seems to be throwing foil wrappers off the bike! Must be drugs!"
"He's coming to an intersection, he's blown the red light! Thankfully nobody was injured."
"BLOWOUT! It appears he blew his tire when careening through the intersection!"
"Look at the sparks! A blown tire won't even stop this lunatic!"
"A Squad car has just run him down...this chase is over folks"
"Wait! Look at the way that baton repeatedly bounces off his cranium!"
"Look at the blood fly! A fitting end to this rampaging rebel."
"This is Fox News is signing off"

Let me know when you get here! I'd be more than happy to take you out for a beer. If you're bringing your bike, we can go bait cops together. Won't it be great? Just like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!

p.s. Remember the fixie in that movie?

I'll be sure to PM you before I leave. Don't think I'll be bringing my bike. The friend who I am staying with skates and we plan on some day trips outside of the city, so wouldn't be biking much anyways.

Definitely PM me before you come out. I'd love to buy you a beer, as long as you don't show up on your skates looking like this!!!

Skateboard was the idea.
