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)

Lack of sleeves or 25c tire?

Today I went for what should have been a leisurely bike ride at 4 AM because I couldn't fall back to sleep after Angie got up at 3:00 (she's driving to NYC to be part of the news entourage that gets to follow around Obama at the Ground Zero Memorial today) and was nearly hit by the ONE CAR I saw on the road. Dude blew through a stop sign and nearly took me out. I politely (sarcasm) pointed out that stop signs are there for a reason and his award-winning line was "Well you shouldn't be riding a bike so early in the morning". Dumbass.

I woke up, put some beat up Cinelli Criterium bars on my Sputnik, debating putting them onto the Trek instead. Ate some disgusting oatmeal and banana's with brown sugar then went to work. I didn't ride my bike because my whole body hurts

I found this piece on my coffee table. Apparently it was in the mail box in the office. Even though I called USPS and asked the guys at the office if ANY packages come through the office and both said "No, directly to your door."

*******s.
