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)

What can I say. Try it before you knock it I work up at Powelton pizza most days at 37th and lancaster.

You all should end up at the new angle love lounge in west and crack open some hurricanes

Attention Philadelphia Fixed-Gear/SS Riders: A declaration

THIS THURSDAY NIGHT NOVEMBER 18th

CENTER CITY NIGHT RIDE
GET YOUR FIX!

Start: Rittenhouse Square
18th & Walnut (park corner)

Meet at 10:45PM Leave at 11:00PM Sharp!!

Ride: TBD but I was thinking to ride up Walnut, left on 21st Street, across, left on South Street, all the way down, left on 7th, right on Market, left on 5th, through the tunnel (has bike lane), left on Spring Garden all the way to Fairmount Park, take the beautiful bike path along the river, up the ramp to Chestnut street, down to 19th, right back into Rittenhouse Square. End

Come one, none or all! Peel off whenever you want. Ride as little or as much as you want.

Yea, I should be there. Is everyone actually going to be there, because I don't want to show up and have no one there, that would suck.
