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)

The only thing I miss about when I lived in Phoenix is that quarts of High Life cost a dollar at just about any gas station/convenience store.

I still can't believe you thought I drank MGD. Around these parts, that's what all the dooshbag jocks drink.

I only smoke the green when riding my MTB offroad (not often), and I only drink and ride when I know I'll be on the MUP.

I have a hard time deciding between bike parts and basic needs in life.

Like Underwear and Sox Vs trying to get the GT butterball *drools* on Craigslist.

Yeah whatever.

i confess, i enjoy walking just as much as riding my bike. I like looking at the surroundings, little birdies, little squirrels, fellow pedestrians, dogs and other great things I see.

I just can't find a walking forum that I like...
