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 have no problem with that. It's not like he had his dog in the trailer.

It's juat natural selection at work. If you are dumb enough to run brakless you can't have anything good to offer a kid for advice growing up.
