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)

about 10% of the 'stuff' worth keeping


in that first pic behind the laundry room door there is 5 frames and about 7 wheelsets. all the drawers and cabinets pictured are full and there are two more of those plastic organizer things to the right.

I really only smoke about 3 bowls a day. I don't think it's too much. Plus, I really think it does relax my muscles

Sounds like you just need to smoke more often.

Holy **** man. I smoke regularly, as do many of my friends. But to be high for a good portion of every day, and to get high right before work, you don't think that might be a little excessive?

People always get at me for smoking before work, but it takes me 45 min to get there and mornings are always slow. Work usually doesn't start picking up til 12-1pm. I'm straight even before 11am.
Plus it's always sativa in the morning

Excessive? Maybe. But I don't think 3 times a day is too much. I hope. Green is too cheap out here!

I feel like I should be sponsored on night rides by


I judge Scrodzilla for drinking MGD.

youngandcurious is too young to be doing that ****.

I need to take care of my body better.

I'm the luckiest person alive. I left my Leader in bike of my aunts house because she had to drive me home due to severe dehydration see ^ and she had her old Univega Trail stolen...It was parked right next to my Leader.

ok, let's not continue and get the thread locked. But, smoking before a hard climb will always make you faster

I've smoked before a few of my longer or more commuting-style rides and loved it.

I just got a Mash a couple weeks ago. Swapped it for my cool NJS! haha. I don't think I spend too much on green. I pack lunch everyday so I could stay within my budget
