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)

Try to follow - you will save a lot.

This was me like 30 nights in a row until this week.

Talking to a sqrrl right now... very confusing. Very obvious that we're both crazy about each other but she wants to "tread lightly." F'in A. Her bike is so cool. She's so cool. I wanna be cool with her.

Theres two ways that people like us can find sqrls. 1. Find a sqrl that is also addicted to bikes or 2. Make sqrl addicted to bikes.

Sqrl told me she wants to build a bike with me.


Today, I cleaned the track bike completely, and changed the fitting on my road bike a little. Much better!

Today I rode about 14 miles, half of which with 20mph headwinds. :|

It was my first ride of notable length on the Kagero and I'm really happy with the fit, just need to tilt my saddle back a hair.

Tough. Only happened to me once before and only resulted in 2 hour delay plus a business class upgrade.

My sqrl told me she wanted to put together another bike, it was arousing in the most confusing way.

I ride to eat.

Also, I went to McDonald's in my purple/red cycling jacket, cycling cap, tights and really clunky sneakers that my friend let me borrow. Too lazy to change. Got more than a few funny looks.

Adding to this sentiment, I just saw Angie build a Formation Face/Gran Compe rear wheel in record time. She's pretty awesome.
