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?

I've been on a train since 930 yesterday morning, I'll be on it for another 1.5 hours, I'm hungry but they overbooked the train and all of the food is sold out, I'm bored and lonely and the one person I want to talk to is ignoring me. This is not how I wanted my vacation to end.

Finally got comfy riding fixed through Manhattan traffic. Pretty much the same thing I've been doing the last 20 years 'cept I can't stop peddling and crane my neck staring at chix. That's gonna get a lot tougher with the weather we're getting (NYC's pretty clothes-optional in the warmer months).

Just went for a walk to get an espresso. No jacket. Broke a sweat.

It's very warm here in Atlanta.

Pffft. H*ll yeah, they'll get paid. They will claim full MSRP + tax for all of those bikes on the insurance.

There is no way all of those bikes would sell for MSRP. It's really hard to sell 51, 53, and 61cm bikes. You know how hard it is to sell a 53cm $10,000 bike? Reee-dic-ilussss.
