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)

Today I had the last piece of the puzzle for project Shreddie Merckx delivered. ETA next week before it's on the road.

Sherbock, congrats! Great hippy school in a terrific hippy town.

spRice, don't be too disappointed, winters in western Oregon can be tough with all the rain. I did some of my schooling at Oregon State in Corvallis (wildlife biology) and we sometimes had to dash to east of the Cascades primarily to get some sun after weeks without!

That's a good point. I get frozen in our mild and mostly dry Davis winters .

Bay area winters are hell.

I had to scrape my windshield off a little last weekend.

I had to take my leg warmers off last night because it got too warm. It was awful.

Today I rode my Soma Rush with just a light jacket and bib shorts. It was horrible.

I'll take the northeast. Each season provides it's own challenge.

I don't even know anymore. I'm home for the holiday (CA foothills) and it was 70 degrees out. There has also been snow on the ground for over a week.

UCD rocks! I'd be strongly considering it, if I hadn't spent my entire lifetime here.

One of the reasons I got the trainer was to avoid the bitter cold, snowy days, it's paying off merely on the fact I can keep my right shoulder warm and pain free.

Plus, and I don't know if you've ever been to Davis, but there isn't much to do here if you're under 21.

Maybe go smoke some pot or something? See a movie? There ain't much else.

It generally doesn't matter where your college campus is.

Drugs, sex, and alcohol is everywhere.

No, I know, it's a huge college, but I'm saying that outside of that it isn't a very happening place.

Or at least it wasn't for me growing up. Davis has been soured for me because I grew up here, and want something else. Maybe I'll come back. Later, though.
