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)

Today the last tube of seeds I had actually germinated, unlike the other 6 (saves 7 weeks of time) and all of my other experiments worked flawlessly, I got a free lunch, t shirt, and mug at the biotech product show, and now I am going to eat and study for the GRE all night. Twas a good day!

Or maybe the '51 CCM... or my '54 Raleigh.

Thinking the '54 Raleigh is the way to go... has fenders and the 3 speed does not care about the rain.

Just got my 105 pedals, they're pretty damn nice. Probably won't be able to ride clipless for quite a while, as the clipping/unclipping probably wont feel too good.

Hey, do your guys' cleats stick out a bit from underneath the sole of your road shoes?

Agreed. It's rough. Especially once the switch flips in your head and you see so many opportunities for extra cash sitting on craigslist. I have so many bikes in the garage I've ridden less than 10 miles that I'm a little too lazy to put up on craigslist.

Road cleats? Road cleats always stick out a lot. Mountain cleats are generally recessed and stick out a lot less (and are subsequently much easier to walk around in).
