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)

lmfao, i found it funny that noone pointed out my own grammar in that post, though double irony for the actual usage of the word cant (by definition) as opposed to can't

He spelled it correctly, he punctuated it incorrectly. If he had actually meant "cant", then he spelled it correctly, but his grammar was poor.

Totally agree. If he meant "cant", then he spelled and punctuated (none) it correctly. But he meant "Can't", so he spelled it correctly but failed to punctuate it properly.
