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)

Some dude in my neighborhood is selling a minty Fiero V6 and I'm so tempted to buy it just to be a dink.

No e92's & S5's are way better.

All kidding and ownership bias aside, MR2's are good cars. They have great weight ratio which results in great handling and responsiveness but aftermarket and replacement parts are pretty obscure compared to others. I'd drive a 1st or 2nd gen. Not the 3rd gen tho.

Best part is when you're riding through the bottom of a canyon and the cold air that settles there.

Good advice. Also, one single sided page and a simple font.

Nice. There are a few canyons in Beverly Hills and Hollywood that have pockets of very warm air. I don't know the source, how or why, but it feels good to ride into them on some cold night rides.
