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)

Sure, but rush hour is every morning and evening for me--don't get me wrong, it's fun and all, just not that special. I do love night rides, though.

Yeah, seconding what trevor said, I ride around the city in the morning and the afternoon too regularly. Something a little different would be better - some new scenery maybe.

Can I get in on this? Just because I have gears doesn't mean I use them too often.

I believe there is one, I heard about a bunch of kids getting together on thursdays @9 infront of boston bicycle. . . supposedly a few BU kids show up once and a while but I heard they're not too bad. should be good times I might even show up this week but if you guys or anyone wants to make another night that would be really cool too. Maybe a cross town bar 2 bar group ride???
