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)

a friends' band is playing a party tonight, so i will probably be that guy stopping making dashes to the bushes...or i may just do that hair of the dog thing...and be that guy with the sixer' in his bag

Sure, give me a call when your train gets here. I'll give you directions to my house and we'll head up to the park from there...

I think we're probably gonna figure it out when we get there.

Maybe through the park and up through presidio. Got any suggestions?

I'd throw it on. Or just throw it in your bag, and if you feel like throwing it on mid ride, it would only take what, a minute?

You should come.

dammit! I have been working a 2-job crazy schedule all week and just got around to checking the board. You guys are out riding RIGHT NOW. Damn.
Thanks for the message Dan. Sadly, I just got it a few minutes ago. I could've used a good group ride today.

How did it go?

I'm definitely in for next time!

Also, anybody interested in New Years Eve Critical Mass?! Its gonna be fun! I"m bringing bourbon. And maybe my helmet.

oh SNAP! good pics! you guys had a skid comp?! Did 46x17 win? I SO wish I was there!

Who belongs to that baby blue bike with the blue tape and blue tires? gorgeous bike.

BTW, after I posted my earlier post on this same thread, I had my bike up in the stand, cleaning it up. I stopped paying attention to what I was doing and pulled the ultimate dip**** move: I let my finger follow the moving chain into the cog for a second and it chewed up the tip of my thumb/thumbnail. nasty nasy stuff. I've changed the bandage sveral times and i think its still bleeding a bit. ugh.

anyhow, glad y'all had a nice ride, wish I was there. Next time.

I'll probably be riding during the day on friday with a friend from work who I built a fix for a couple weeks ago.
Sunday is a possibility as well. Depends what you guys have going...

Edit: I'll make a new thread...

Ah, a pre-Santa Fixed ride. Where will you be riding?
There's also the NYE CM. Or a New Year's Fixed on Jan 2.
