Queens to Chelsea commute. Road testing an Optrix XD iPhone case for work. Kinda meh but the built-in wide angle lens is fun.

planet of the apes is an abandoned stretch of Highway 1 that can make you feel like you’re Charlton Heston, the last human on the planet. The broken pavement is surrounded by thick poison oak and brush, but it is an entirely pleasant, car-free climb up a ridge.

Did you set your brakes up with the lever QR open on purpose?

neat. i'm honestly surprised i'd never hear this before, but there's always more to learn. i've tried them in both positions, but prefer them as pictured. something to be aware of though if i ever get calipers w/o a QR.

I don't get it, this is supposed to be the fixed gear ride pics thread. Why am I seeing a bunch of brakes?

What do brakes have to do with fixed gear?
