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)

Hmmm, I'm curious.

Dat don't look like germany. Admittedly, i've never been. But they told me it was a temperate zone.

To be honest, sexual preferences is one of the smaller issues of worry a father of a teenage daughter has, compared to violence, ****, drugs, depressions, anorexia, juvenile suicide................................Hell the poor sods are pretty occupied surviving

I'm convinced that if I ever have children, this will be their form of rebellion: I'll send them to communist summer camp, and they'll start sneaking out to Sunday school. I'll encourage them to be tolerant of diversity, and they'll take up with Reverend Phelps' cause. Etcetera.

more boys frolicking in kiddie pools, MORE I SAY!

also, it's quite satifying to see more mature ppl on fixies. i've only spotted a few older dudes--and one-legged amputees!! so fkn amazing to see--amongst the million hipsters (myself included, i confess) on track bikes on the nyc streets.
