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)

That employee must be vegan, my broccoli farts are unrelenting.

Today I, got in a mellow road ride with a friend then dropped him off and went on a high intensity hill repeat session. I need recovery beers now.

Signed up to volunteer at this years Brooklyn Redhook Crit. Should be fun.

Rode 7 miles in this crap Manhattan weather. Didn't fall, but it was definitely tough going.
35mm Schwalbe CX Comp tires did well.

That's not such a good idea..... unlike rollers that slow down as you do, the threadmill DGAF and rather see you thrown to the floor along with your silly two-wheeled non-running related contraption.


Rainy day = wheelbuilding day.
Truing/ unwittingly rebuilding a set of neglected/ most likely left outside shimano sante to mavic MA40s.
Good news is, I'm almost done. Bad news is, I ran out of nipples to replace the corroded ones.
