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)

Well it's mostly for him but if I can fit on it the idea is I can ride it too. Still, we were talking about ways to have fun together again and this seems like a good idea to me!

I don't even know where I would take a pugsley to really put it through its paces. Don't forget to check tire pressure before you go out kaz

Yeah, same here. I'm thinking we take it to the beach.

Impressive, isn't it? In this case I kinda ****ed up so he deserves a present, and this is at least better than refusing to even look at me.

Beach is good but also that park on Montrose/California. Has hills and trail.

Today is not a good day. My friend who was supposed to be helping me move the last of my **** with her car was a no-show, and I waited around all day for her. A friend of mine bought a ticket (using my money) to OFF! and The Refused tonight, but lost the ticket and doesn't have my money. I broke a bottle of very nice beer inside my MW Vandal while riding **** from old house to new house on my bike, and now there are glass shards everywhere in the bag. I realized that, unless I want to go back to kitchens (I don't right now), there are exactly zero jobs in this city that I'm qualified for. I kinda just want to lay down and give up. Oh, and my prescription ran out two days ago, so depressed Bryan is slowly returning. I think I'm going to go for a bike ride to combat all of this.
