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)

Same here.

I just walked in from work to my wife watching the USA Pro Challenge. She then namedropped Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen when filling me in on how Tejay Van Garderen and Christian Vande Velde were doing in the race. I don't think I've ever loved her more.

[strike]Today[/strike]A couple days ago, I fredded up my FG even more:



Still don't have panniers or a trunk bag for it though.

Also, my advice for morning poops is to get that coffee in your system ASAP. Works like magic.

Tonight I am drunk, at home, (more or less) alone. I *really* wanted to go out tonight but, self-imposed moratorium, so a friend said he would go out and get drunk and we could text the whole time and it would be as close as we could get to drinking together. I just took a ****ing picture of myself doing a shot and sent it to him.

#ithinkihaveaproblem?

But it's the first time I've had anything to drink in a week so like 2 beers and a shot and I'm feeling it.

Hee, thanks. This is actually the first time in memory (maybe ever?) that I've gotten for reals drunk at home by myself. So yeah, not a common occurrence. Had a bad day, work from home tomorrow so I can sleep in, might as well have a few beers and some Jim Beam.

You could use little black ones, and they'd be less noticeable.

spring SLR adds lots of weight. the s900 are ridiculous lightweights. like, kinda don't want to think about it, being that they are the only things that keep me from flying face first into a delivery truck at 20+ mph.

today i scored a beautiful set of hard ano tubular rims laced to immaculate shimano tricolor 600 hubs. JEWELSY

also i ordered a VX small messenger bag. ADVANCEDULATION!

also i got word that there's a bike so awesome you can't know about it until i post in the geared rigs thread in a few weeks. SUPERCRAZYSEX!

also i got 58" bars for my roof rack so i can hang bikes on the sides of my car like a bawss

I'll admit, I was probably going 5mph on this first attempt. I'll go faster once i get a Lifeproof iPhone case.

Today i got up an hour late, get to work and my boss gets to work 2 hrs late. Sweet.
2 paid hours of work and no recorded lateness. Sounds like a win to me!

Today I have mismatched crankarm on my bike, on silver one black. Reminiscent of Frankenstein IT LIVES

i love the feeling 15 miles into a ride where you feel unstoppable and hills aren't even a slight inconvenience anymore
