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)

That's what I was figuring. I recall a lot of places in Phoenix when I lived there having signs at the drive thru that said you must be in a vehicle and it was pretty common for late night taco places to get robbed at gunpoint at the drive thrus there. One time while at a Filaberto's in a sketchy part of town, a robbery happened while my friend John and I were inside eating. The dude robbing the place got all heated because they weren't giving up the money and let two shots fly into the ceiling. We dove under some tables like we were in a bad action movie. The whole time, my friend continued to stuff his face with his pork tacos. I whispered, "dude, are you serious?" and he said "**** dying while you're hungry". True story.

When I lived down in Portland and closed down bars all the time, getting drive thru action while on a bike was tough.
Burgerville drive thrus are officially bike friendly, but their drive thrus usually close at the same time as the dining room, so hardly makes sense to me - unless you don't have a lock, I suppose, but then you gotta stand in line huffin' exhaust to get your burgers, ugghhh...

Coffee makes me happy!
And these aren't suspended or fitted with Zerts/carbon inserts for road vibration why?
What do they think we are? Neanderthals?

Oh! The humanity!

These have adjustable diameter and depth and they're gimbaled for maximum lean angle with minimum spillage in the village.

I'd have to imagine the long arm would just increase the ejection rate when you hit that pothole, though.
