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)

Like the ones from the late '80s??? (although they had 1" HS back then)

Today I biked to work. I've been getting back in the saddle more lately, coming out of hibernation. Plan on taking a nice leisure ride down by the river tomorrow.

Even though I'm wearing a pair of their socks right now, that place ****ING BLOWS! The most over-rated shop ever. Go to Fast Folks or Ozone or Austin Bikes. Much better.

Today I went to the shrink. Not terrible. I then pounded out about 40 miles and had a meeting at the new restaurant. Meeting consisted of bull****ting with the owner about bikes and food and beer while drinking awesome beer and eating a short rib sandwich. Then nap, and karaoke. Awesome.

Today I helped a guy volunteer at the co-op overhaul his Smoothie with DA 7800. He makes big talk about working on bikes and stuff then went on to pouting about having to readjust his derailers. Le sigh

Still getting used to the new job. I have to get out of the co-op volunteer mentality and really act like my time, effort, and skill is worth something.

Haha, thanks. I literally ordered one 3 hours after I sold mine.

I had to walk to the bank to make a deposit. It was the worst, lemme tell you.

I was a woodpusher, hung out with a couple kids who skated, never saw a problem with it. No reason to hate man. Just the kids on razor scooters who would always end up taking chips out of our rails/box edges.
