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)

Well yesterday I took some of my high school students out for a bike ride, and when we got back to the shop, there was this lady sitting outside in a beach chair in nothing but a g string tanning. The students went nuts. It was kinda terrible. especially when she followed us into the shop and tried talking to us.

Today Angie got a huge tattoo on her leg in honor of our cat Fickle (aka Ham) who passed away a few months ago.



Done by our friend Chris Dingwell in Portland, ME. I got all teary-eyed when I saw it.

Full on touring bikes are burly and slow. There are lots of regular "sport" bikes that fit wide tires and fenders, maybe even a rear rack.

TIFU @ work. :-/

Today I read a very good thread about how a LBS works and why I want to support them more than buying from Amazon and eBay:

I hope nothing serious, Dan. I just got back some positive results on bloodwork myself. Big relief.

Just watched Gattaca for the first time. Wow. I love some dystopian sci-fi.
