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)

As i sit bored out of my mind in the laundromat, i ponder if its worth a 247% price increase for fluff&fold

The folding is really my least favorite part

opinions?

TL;DR: do it.

When the missus and I moved to an apartment without laundry, we made the decision to pay extra for same day dropoff service. That remains one of the most grown-up decisions i've made since i started buying non-baggy jeans. IMHO it's totally worth paying someone else to fold. It's like paying for those hours of your life per week you'll never get back.
(more time for playing bieks)

today i avoided the groups at work standing around and yammering wild speculation about Boston. we don't have internet in the facility, so all the info was from radio sound bites.

discovered some gravel inside a year old scar from a bike biff. luckily managed to cut it out without too much trouble, the wife gets mad when i do my own stitches....
