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....

Angie and I went to Wal-fart today specifically to look for this piece of crap. I busted a quick skid in the store and the cog slipped backward a good quarter of an inch. Oops!

I really did. We drove though...it was raining like mad. The goal was for Angie to take pics of me doing a no-handed nuts-to-stem skid in the store but she missed the first shot and a the fine Walmart employees were becoming slightly angry with us so we bailed.

We tossed around the idea of buying one and having it be the unfortunate star of a snuff film.

Wow. A no nutz-to-stem skid would have been awesome BTW.

Seriosuly...the basement of our warehouse building would be a perfect setting for us to dress in all black, put on ski masks and film each other torturing all signs of life from that stupid bike then drag it outside, light it on fire and throw it in the dumpster.

I just test rode one.. just horrible, everything cheap, it rode like a slug especially with those tires. Went for a skid and one of my legs bottomed out a crank, I had stripped the cog as if it were a twig. Put it back and swiftly left before security makes me buy the turd.
