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)

Serious? I think that would be the best place to ride. A ride throughout the Golan would be redonk.

I'm a bit biased. After riding my whole life in the swamps of FL, Israel's "heat" isn't so bad....except maybe Eilat and the Negev.

I would love to recreate the Last Crusade scene through the Siq on a bike in a full Indy get up. That would complete my life

The north was painfully humid, but yeah, you're probably used to it. When I was last in the south hiking around the Negev and Elat it was something like 45*C but bone dry, what I'm used to. A ride that ends with a swim in the Red Sea would be blissful

San Francisco.

It's a relatively small "big city" at 7x7 miles (I think). VERY bike friendly. Great public transportation. Lots to do. Great weather. Pricey, though.

I'd probably fly to Portland. Been there before, without a bike. Would like to spend a little more time and do more exploring.

And Ireland, of course.

Bikes: '74 Schwinn Sports Tourer (Polo), S-Works E5 Team Festina (Chorus 11), Trek 2200 Bonded Carbon (Fixed), Trek 920 (7 speed IGH), Chesini Olimpiade SL (1x7)

I'm thinking Australia.

- English Speaking
- Friendly
- Awesome music
- Cheap (after the plane ticket)
- They're usually a few years behind on trends so fixies may still be cool

Before you ever bring your bike on a plane to a different country, be sure you know the laws of that country. The touring subforum is helpful.
