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)

Bike Messenger on History Channel Modern Marvels
Suppose to be a show about delivering stuff on tonight at 8pm (4-15-10) EST.

It mentioned something about a segment about bike messengers.

Modern Marvels
Episode: Deliver It

Delivering everything from pizza to packages; how UPS transported China's ancient terra cotta warriors to a museum in Los Angeles; a submersible carrier ship delivers yachts; racehorses ride a special jet; New York City bicycle messengers.

I certainly hope that doesn't happen, just because I don't want to hear your rants on how we shouldn't "worship messenger 'culture'".

Without rants, this place would be roadbikereview.com with only product reviews.

If I've learned anything by watching the History Channel, it's that ANY problem no matter how big or small can be fixed in about 55-57 minutes.
