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)

We have all been there. On my last ride I was ready to back home after about an hour and a half when I had set out to ride for five or so hours. It sucks greeting over that feeling.

I think toe cages are the worst thing ever. I ride clipless on my street bike and single strap on platforms on my fixed. I hate riding toe cages with a passion.
