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)

i'm curious, does anyone here know lucas?
I'm so blown away by his videos that I check his site 2 or 3 times a week in case he adds another video to it.....

even though it seems he only adds a movie clip once every couple of months,

Very cool. Nice to see familiar neighborhoods. Looked like they were freewheelin' too.

I think lucas lives around boston somewhere(bedford mass, maybe? 15mi form boston). Some scenes in the couch bike videos look familiar, in fact there is one scene in a couch video that is 2 blocks from my house!

I could make a video like that. The first 4 min 45 sec would be riding just like that and the next 26 minutes would be video of what it looks like to be dragged around atlanta under a bus.

the shot about 1min in where the fix rider comes flying past kicks a**.

whatever that is in the bottom right corner of the screen is really distracting.

Yeah, he's a Boston guy, or Boston area at least. Nice guy, fast too, I think he does some road racing... cat 2 or 3 maybe? He definitely keeps up with some of NY's fastest guys.

Looked like he was coasting a little there before he went between the cars, unless he was checking his speed by doing small skids. Nonetheless, great riding and awesome video as always.

Cool.....those guys have massive balls. Maybe I'm still just recovering from the crash, but riding like that scares the crap out of me.

Also does mtb racing and serves on MassBike's board (which chafes some people to the nth degree but I think love him or hate him, he brings the voice of a different type of cyclist than is usually a member of MassBike). The couch was in at least one Critical Mass ride and made the Globe a year or two ago. There was an article...mmm...last year in the Globe called "Life in the Lucas Lane".

Ah, here's a link: https://www.boston.com/yourlife/healt...he_lucas_lane/

The video.. I can't AIM, as the ship I'm on won't let us have AIM. So, an email would be so very...
perfect.

I'll reward you with something. What I don't know but it'll be more than pockette fluff.

Are you saying Lucas was coasting a bit, or one of the guys he was filming? I wasn't able to see anybody skipping. What time mark did this happen?

Is there any reason to believe Lucas (or the guys he rides with) ride fixed? I assumed that he was riding a SS or multi-gear bike.
