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)

Done and done. Had a couple Boddingtons at lunch today. This evening, I'll see what else I can have but my painkiller regimen might slow me down.

Mine is normally whiskey but the wife gets all 'preachy' about that, talking about how 'hard it is on the body' and blah blah. Needless to say, I drink alone.

Misery loves company

Speaking of such things mentioned above, I just had my wife turn an argument on it's head and play victim to what was my good deed. How can you just do that?!?!

What does that mean? Like you found out someone wasn't your father? or you found out who the actual father of your child was, between two or more men?

I put in about 20 miles today. That bug knocked me out hard and it was tough to get rolling again but it was fun to be on a fixed gear once more.

Yes, I've gotten into the bad habit of not keeping booze in the house recently, so whiskey is currently not included in my regular reparations. This may have to change soon. Luckily I don't know any women who will get mad at me if I drink whiskey at home and have only my own conscience to deal with.

sw8. i've been thinking about helping my gf find one for a bit now.

she rides a hybrid into work occasionally, a commute that involves ~10mi with about 600 feet of climbing, split between two hills.
