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)

I don't ever ride with my lock in my back pocket, it goes in the belt when I don't have my bag. but knowing that I can in a pinch does make it more functional.

I used to ride with my lock in my pocket but that **** is definitely uncomfortable and pops out when I try to hop curbs. Why do you need to shave seconds on locking up, are you trying to make sure all the girls think you're a courier when you skid up to the spot?

Look, you can either choose to put your lock in the pocket or not. The fact that the pocket is large enough to accommodate it is nice though. And not just an Evo Mini, but an On Guard mini Bulldog. As well, it provides more capacity for non-lock related items. I'm just saying it's nice to have pockets on my knickers, that, if need be, can comfortably hold it. Your bad experiences do not deter this fact.

The girls think I'm hot when I'm on my bike lock or not. That just comes with my territory.

With so many people riding brakeless, why care about their handlebars anyway?

don't know if it is a trend or not but I see an awful lot of tiny messenger bags.. when you can't even fit a laptop in your bag it becomes a purse..

I mean honestly, if all you can fit in your bag is a cell phone and wallet why not just use your pockets? What good is a bag that you can't use for beer runs anyways.
