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)

Eeeeeps!!

Bikes: everywhere

I'd just like to take a moment and thank my lucky stars that nothing like that ever happened to me during my careless 20s.

EDIT: actually I guess some things that did happen were actually worse but took place while driving and/or skateboarding. And they were kinda better in a way also, so whatever. Good Times!

My only gnarly bike vs car wreck happened when I was riding my nasty 10-speed up to the killer arcade when I was about 15.

Dude, we get it - you think something is stupid. If I sniveled about everything I disagreed with, didn't like or thought was dumb, I'd never get anything done.

lol.

That is the perfect example of why motorists have such negative feelings toward cycliststs in general. Aggressive, reckless riding like that is going to get you hurt/killed. Rider should grow up and learn how to control himself and his bike.

He wasn't aggressive at all-- he was a puss. The problem is that he wimped out and tried to stop instead of going for it. Weak-minded fool.

Buses are the hipster's worst enemy, I myself nearly got sucked under one trying to swerve in front of it.
