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)

Yesterday was 70mi.
Monday was 55mi.

I hit a wall, today, at about 77mi. It sucked.

That would've made a great story with your submission if you just kept on riding like that.

Had a good bike ride with my girls. 6 total miles, 50 degrees, overcast, no crazy wind. First 3mi had a few stops for snack and play. Came back 3mi non stop, took 28 minutes. Didn't think my 6yo had it in her but she did well

Today my son (20) wanted to go for a ride with his old man, so we did a lazy 22km. Cycling to him is a form of enforced transport ( his sport is soccer where he plays in the local semi-pro league) so I'm particularly chuffed that he wants to do this from time to time.

That article, while based in truth, is a work of satire.

Just a thought, have you ever threw on studded snow tires on the dmr? And threw it around in the snow?

Nope, have an indoor skatepark nearby.

Today was the first time I almost crapped myself on my fixed gear, got up to ~30mph and felt like I was gonna get thrown off the bike. Scary stuff.

I got that from the site's header, but this piece had me wondering. And when I looked it up, he really is an ******* about the subject. He said that if a cyclist gets killed on the road, its their own fault, because the roads were built for cars, trucks, and busses. So that satire is an exaggeration, but its really not that far off the mark for the guy.

today i ordered a fantom cross uno from bike island! i was planning on getting one from bikes direct in january but happened to check bike island today and saw one in my size for $70 less (plus a little wear and tear). only concern i have is that even after i ordered, it still shows up on their website. hopefully no one actually grabbed it before me...
