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 in the 'burbs, but I'm often in the city. That sorta counts. Once I can afford it, I'll be there more permanently.

i moved for school, so in august. yeah, i always meant to switch my mtn bike over to single speed and go riding around belmont plateau and in wissahickon, but i was too busy riding my road bike!

philadelphia's just a great city in which to ride a bike.
