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)

Teaching Assistant and PhD student. Hooray more school! Luckily Ive got a few more years before I have to deal with wretched economy/job prospects.

Though, being unemployed isn't too much worse.
