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)

Nicely done! I got 9 PRs on my way home from work but not even close to a top ten. My commute to the new office is full of fast segments. Going to have to pedal harder.

I saw multiple sprinting from the hoods in that video but I'm only hating because we have nothing like that around here.

I was REALLY surprised to see Robbie Miranda sprinting from the hoods. I was like... wut? You're fast but ... wut?
[MENTION=171057]Jaytron[/MENTION] - I forced myself to start in bigger gears at lights on last night's wolfpack. Focused on pulling up and down with smooth strokes instead of side to side motion, felt so much better.

I don't know her all that well, we've met maybe twice at events down there. If she remembers my name I'd be shocked. Maybe just say the bearded dude from SF, haha. She knows Zach better since he took her spot for Red Hook Barcelona (she said it would have been hard to swing the cash to go, understandably).

Today I got an offer from someone to buy a bike from Michigan. He then gave me his phone number and we have been texting. Sent pics and he made an offer a little less then my ad. Offers to pay me with pay pal. If we are both verified a push message will let me know the money is deposited. Is there any possible way this is a scam. If money clears I could immediately deposit it into my account it will clear into my account in 3 days. I then ship after that... am I being dumb here? All the other scams offer you more money wont give you the phone number or address.
