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)

Can't walk!? Sounds bad. What happened?
As for you being more of a wimp, I would be surprised, but I guess you never know.
Come on a ride!

[165] and ryan,
thanks for the invites. i would love to ride next time, just hope i dont hold any of you guys up!
my most recent injury (3rd in less than 2 weeks!) is f*ed up ankles - i'm not quite sure how, but i have cuts all over both ankles and feet. weirdest thing, and i seriously have no idea how. it hurts like the dickens to walk, so i'm staying put. should be fine by the next ride, unless i mess something else up in between!

Ha Ha! Yeah offstage in the green room I'm getting my hair
gelled & styled and 165 is reading over his script of Asian jokes. All in
all helmets get forgotten. Like seatbelts in movie car chases.

As for holding us up I wouldn't worry about it since 90% of
the time we end up eating more in calories than in feet of
road. Besides if you slow us down we can put you down
like a lame horse! Or is that not vegan?

Tour this weekend: CONSTANT! ELIMINATION!

did you guys just take them off for the pictures? or did i miss the coloring book for this one as well?

The Devo hats themselves reside in Cleveland, Ohio-Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Devo are (or is?) from Akron, Ohio.

Yeah, but doesn't someone make replicas?

If not let's have a borstal breakout...I want one!

The R'n'R Hall of Fame is another mistake on the lake...

You think? I've enjoyed my visits there. I wish they had a better food selection, though.

Little Italy, wait, in Cleveland? Figures, though, I tend to go to the H of F when they're in between exhibitions or something.

rusholme- you're on.
