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)

Ahh, haha. I wasn't familiar with the term Salmon. People get stupid when riding in the opposite lane. I do my best to avoid doing this around corners or heavily congested areas. Sometimes it happens due to idiots in the bike lane.
Did you at least powder your hand before you slapped him?

All fresh water...I got into keeping bigger fish. Had some indo dats, peacock bass, tiger shovelnose catfish, marble motoro rays were all in the big tank. Then various geos, chocolate cichlids, lima shovelnose catfish, sun catfish, etc in the smaller tanks. We also have a giant koi pond. The new house has a pond, so the koi are moving. Selling off everything else tho.

Today I am an idiot.
I forgot to take my wallet out of my pocket during a recent MRI and all my cards are zapped. I tried to get on the subway and didn't work, tried to buy a new card and all my credit cards didn't work. Now I have to have all new cards sent to me.

My bank card is going to take 7-10 days however my credit card they will overnight (same bank for both cards). Its funny how the card to get my money takes a week but the card to charge only takes a day, coincidence, I think not. The guy on the phone said I can go to the bank and take money out, I laughed at him, Bank.... bahhahaha.

First 40 mile ride of the season for me; shoulder surgery put a damper on my training. I wonder how accurate Garmin is, they say 2,350 calories burned, I would assume that fixed gear might burn a bit more since I never coast. Any input?


As you can tell by the few zig zags I got lost in a few spots.

I used to work in retail and have women flip out over the stupidest crap, it was obnoxious.
Definitely will find my way into Jersey, just need some direction because I get lost in this giant grid called Manhattan.

Last night I hungout with some girl I barely knew. She ended up shooting something in my bathroom. When we went outside she passed out and stopped breathing on my front steps. I had to call 911 then the next day the only person who thanked me was her mom but she was pissed at me. Likes crazy like Scrod says.

At least you were there to get help. Good thing you didn't stick it in, might have been you in the hospital in a few months.

Yeah dude, I know I was dead sober. I've been clean for a few years now except from alcohol. I want no parts of anything like that ever again, that was the most scared I've been in a very long time.

Today I fixed my free gas trimmer that I pulled from the trash after a yard crew dumped it.

All it needed was a fuel line replacement kit which cost $3.98, took under 5 minutes to fix, and it came with a full tank of gas.

I am amazed at what people will throw away.
