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 like that your first thought after having close calls was to get a helmet rather than, you know, getting brakes.

I have a taller head and look extremely stupid during those times I wear a helmet. I just try not to look in a mirror if I have it on.

However silly you think you look in a helmet, it's not as bad as this:
