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)

Then you'll all get a full blown album (complete with obnoxious time stamps).

Reading LowCel's replies to that thread (especially on the last page) is extremely funny to me.

I think my favorite part is that our content-generated ads are Zinn Bikes and World Of Warcraft, but theirs are for Mitt Romney. Hilarious.

Today I found out that Chicago may be making bike registration mandatory, ticketing bikes that aren't in the proper parking areas, charging tolls for bikes, and installing cameras on stop signs to ticket cyclists. No, the article wasn't in The Onion. It was an actual Chicago Tribune article. This makes me sad.

that sounds like a bag of BS, people are just jealous that youre getting around for free and staying in shape, while they throw money away and get fatter.

i wonder how theyd pull off that camera thing though, do they expect you to put license plates on you bike now?
if they expect all that they better up the accommodations for cyclists, sounds like a pretty rough area to ride as it is

today im working at the helpdesk on some video tutorial project for a section of the website noone uses. im sad im not in the lab watching netflix all day...

Dude that was a moron's op-ed piece. Nothing of the sort is actually going to happen.

Today I have had the worst ****ing start to the morning. We discovered some rats living under our enclosed porch/3-season room thing a few weeks ago, and the exterminators came in and set bait and traps. Well this morning I walked through there to let the dog out... and oh god the smell. Clearly the methods of destruction have worked and now there are rotting dead rats under our porch. The worst part is the crawl space underneath is all full of junk that the previous owners left behind; insulation and random lumber and stuff. So the exterminators, though they come out every week, can only check the traps and can't dispose of rats that are hidden in amongst the crap. I see tyvek suits and gas masks in our future.

Then, (after an admittedly pleasant ride to work) I get to work and put on my dress and oh ****, it's way shorter than I thought. Too short for the office. I go to Walgreens to buy some leggings, come back and try to put them on... they're this "shapewear" suck-in-your-fat **** and though I have not that much fat, they are so tight that I feel like I can't breathe right now. Then, I grab my milk from the office fridge -- dated tomorrow -- and pour it on my cereal... and it comes out in chunks. ARGH.

This is on top of what has been months of a personal life in shambles and one week into a self-imposed house arrest (not going out for a month to clear my head and help my bank account) and all I want to do tonight is go out, get drunk, and sing karaoke.

**** rats, **** shapewear, **** relationships, **** everything. The only thing good is bikes.
