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?

42x18 is no good for a noob on a hilly cross course. And, no you can't use any old road chain ring with a 1/8" chain. :/

Today I was once again in a biking accident and once again broke my clavicle. This time on the left side, and this time in 2 places. My clavicle looks like a "Z"

Today I went on a 20 mile ride with a friend to try out my new Mavic Zxelliums. Riding clipless is really awesome. Clipping out is difficult.

WTF, suck.

Today I went to 3Floyd's brewery for a tour and then had lunch/dinner in the brew pub. Brought back $200 worth of beer in growlers and bombers and am now inviting friends over to drink it (and our keg of homebrew, we want to kill it so we can brew some porter soon) tonight. Woo.

Today I went to Misskaz's house to help her dispose of beer, and pick up the growlers she got for me. I got drunk, our dd drove me to White Castle, but I'm not sure how I got home from there. I think I rode my bike...
