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)

Yes I have a Langster Pro and an old Schwinn conversion for commuting, the Kilo TT has been retired plus it was a little too small for me.

44 miles today. My left knee began to really hurt again and I basically limped 15 miles to home. I think my left knee is going to be shot for a while which means I should back out of the 400k

If anyone else is riding it, I'll be stopping at Centralia for the beer garden.
I really wanted to ride STP but holy **** it sold out quick this year.

A month ago I bought a complete bike for just the frame. After swapping parts I sold the resulting frankenbike on CL today. What a relief!

All finished with the stp now, it's insanely easy. I should of done the one day but had fun getting wasted in Centralia. It wouldn't be that bad if it weren't for the other riders being clueless about pack riding.

You can't delete your bf account. It's like a fb account, even if you die it's still there.

Today, I was riding my bike to work and I said to myself, "It's way too nice outside to be stuck in an office today." Then I said to myself, "**** it," and I went to the park.

HA! Actually, I'm lucky enough to set my own hours, and I work for a non-profit so small that I'm the only person that works in the office currently. I'm working on changing everything to a "work at home" situation.
