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 am now 58...cycling for over 30 years..once rode my friend's track bike at a So Cal velodrome..realized I would most likely find myself on my ass many times if I kept doing this...haven't regretted the decision.
I also pretty much failed horseback riding, though at the time I was in a situation where I had to do it for about a year. Fell on my ass a lot.

I think the same could be said for most of us. Except for me, I have no life AND I post while at work.
