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)

Who's the master? I'm the master! Shonuff! I think I'm the fastest fixie rider in my little town in the Poconos. In fact, I think I'm the only fixie rider!

In NYC, it's Felipe."The King of NY". He's won the most alleycats this year and last year's Monster Track and he doesn't even ride a track bike. Go figure.

Well, I'm not sure, but around here, I think it's some dude named Adam Ford.

Of course he rides an IF roadie, but rumor has it he's pretty quick.

Adam is very fast. He won the Sprint Championship in Seattle 2003

Besides being World Champ for sprints for that year he does real well in the main race events too. I think he got 2nd place overall at the North American Championships in Montreal 04 winning 2nd place in the main event and 2nd in the sprint event. Probably the fastest messenger in Boston? I think is where he hails from.

You would think that with digital cameras nowadays they could get one where her eyes weren't closed.

I've hit 37 mph downhill running a 44x16t
and 35 mph on short flat sprint with a 52x16t gear.

I'm one of a few dozen riding fixed here in Durham/Raleigh, NC area.
We have more rollers and hills than flats and you see lots of local
commuters walking their bikes up and coasting down.
