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)

Uhmm....

Do it. Slap a flying squirrel on the mofo while you're at it.

I saw a gangster looking fella riding one with his kids to school on my commute this morning. And to top it off he had a for sale sign on the handle bars.

I understood absolutely none of that, except that you have a blood disorder.


There was a Genesis road bike version at mine a while back that was more subdued looking, but still with a flipflop. I shoulda bought it when it was inexplicably on sale for 70 bucks. Or maybe it's a good thing I didn't.

I actually saw one of these on Friday. They are a lot more hideous in person.

Bikes: What... all of them?!?

I think this is great (in all seriousness). All youth in my neighborhood ride department store bikes (even the kids that know how to ride and are strong enough to pull a Magna 20+ speed into a block-long wheelie). Of course, the problem is that the vast majority of these kids, after a few weeks on their bikes, have bikes with frozen or maladjusted cables. It is an almost daily occurrence to see a kid braking with his feet. Assuming the integrity of the fixed hub can last longer than the chain, or other vital component(s), the kids will be better off on these... things. Unless, of course, coaster brakes make a better comeback.
