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)

Oh well, back on the street

Oh well, back on the street

Yeah, dispatching was doing my head in - so, starting next week I am back on the street... messin'

3rd year here I come. And 4th. And 5th...

After staring at a computer monitor for two weeks I suddenly had a satori-like realization... the only thing worse than having to battle idiot SUV drivers, cops and lousy weather on a track bike is... well, not having to.

Call me a lifer

This is B, siging in, again.

Somehow I don't think those are the only dreadful things that will be done... Are you changing your gearing, too?
