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)

But wouldn't a light accomplish the same thing? I'm guessing that thing is pricey as hell too.

The concept it kind of cool, I just don't know how well it is in use. Roads around here are terrible and it can take a while to develop a good line to follow when going down certain roads.

Yeah, it's cool but not exactly useful. I've thought about adapting a laser level to do more or less the same thing. Then I realized that a light is easier to implement and has a host of other uses.

I have freakishly wide feet. It is very hard to find shoes of any kind that fit. I finally tried some SIDI Megawidths and they're perfect!
