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)

use something gnarlier like xylene, toluene (paint remover) or gasoline.

just be careful for sparks and do it in a well ventilated area.

It gets better, dude. Don't worry. Just make sure you focus on other things. Do as much stuff as you can to keep yourself busy, and most importantly, socialize with FRIENDS. Don't look for a hook up.

I wholeheartedly agree. Going out and ****ing someone simply to make yourself feel better is stupid.

more true.

youve gotta take your mind off of her, stop romanticizing the good times and think about the reasons why the relationship failed.

i dont know if you read ******, but ******.com/r/breakups and ******.com/r/relationships may be helpful.

I've done it, and it really doesn't do a damn thing. It was drunken anger-venting, and it was really stupid. Felt pretty ****ty after.
