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?

Nah. It's too small.

I'm going to sell it for some short money to add to the relocation fund.

It's large trash pickup week in our neighborhood, you should see our curb. It looks like we're moving out.

Today I wonder why semi entertaining threads gets closed and why people look forward to threads being locked. If you don't like a thread, don't open it~! Not exactly a lot of hot new topics around these parts

Today I decided that we're going to buy a ****ty old van when we move out to CA, put huge Retrogression logos on the sides (and a backward one on the hood like an ambulance) and turn it into a mobile bike shop/party bus.

I particularly dislike when the locking mod leaves their opinion as they lock it, quite petty, and not necessarily the case with the assumed thread.


This is a forum, a place to share opinions, as long as they're all the same I guess.

today i miss my morning bike commute. off to an interview for a counselor position at a super-max security prison mental health facility. it's only a lateral transfer, but the office i'm in now is self destructing due to incompetent supervisors.

after that i come home and start the teardown/rebuild on a used Surly 1x1 i picked up cheap.
