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)

I swear to Merckx I'll start banning people if you bring that BB30 crap in here, haha.

Besides this is ss/fg, we don't have to worry about BB30! So there.

Today I'm working from our office in San Francisco. I want to work here SO BADLY. 10 min commute by bike, nice office, and I'm working with a really awesome team here for a day.

Sorry haha

Today, I'm looking for clubs/teams to join in the area, as well as better routes, but I'm drawing blanks.

Are they split days, at least (one and two)? I had a job where I had three days off in a row and I would get back to the kitchen and not know where the hell I was. Switched days off with one of the cooks after about a month.

You a cook? My issue with that sched is you miss the two busiest days, thus cutting (from my experience) a good 5 or 6 hours off an already short schedule.

Nope, broke out of the service industry a couple years ago. I do closed captioning for TV broadcasts now and it's still full-time so I'm working 10 hour shifts on the days I do work. Not nearly as demanding physically, but it's a mental burnout.

Good feeling isn't it, extending yourself and finding you enjoyed it. Seeing you only just started riding, beware of extending yourself too quickly but going for a ride and 'getting lost' is an honourable tradition. Go for it my boy

today i rode the old croton aqueduct trails and it was generally sweet, riding in the woods is always a good time

except for the fact that the inner part of my brake cable started to pull into the lever body rendering my brake useless right before the fun part of the ride

with said brake no longer functioning my chain dropped on a huge 30 mph hill and i had to tedshred through my fender making a huge disgusting hole in it and ****ing up the mounting clip

and then the granny gear starts slipping

also i can no longer use my phone for a full century post ios7 [MENTION=333534]SpeshulEd[/MENTION]

Mine has been very weird, one day I get great battery life, the next day it sucks. I'm sure there'll be a 7.1 update shortly. It seems like they always need to fix battery issues with each update.

ya this morning it ate thru really fast then halfway through the ride it started to go slower but still faster than 6 was. if it had been going the same speed as the second half of the ride it wouldve probably made it

hopefully theres an update and it gets better, though i had a similar problem when i updated my 3gs to ios5 and it just ruined the battery life so i hope that doesnt happen again

Is it because the update made your experience with your phone worse and you're using it less?

Today I was out riding, headed towards this road I like to sprint and I'm currently 2nd on. This car starts driving really slow beside me seriously 10secs before the segment start, so I look over and this dude throws up two fingers and says "2nd place?!" I laugh and nod. That's when I realized he was the current KOM. It was hilarious and just what I needed to give me some extra gas to steal his crown.
