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)

I have two pairs of NB 992, and they are super comfortable, but have poor ventilation in warm weather.

Said frame must've been bent in a prior accident. And just like bicycles when there is a serious enough crash to compromise its integrity, it's never the same even after repairs.

Need help.
Flying to Chicago in August for a friends wedding, after that I have 4 days to do another trip. I was thinking of a day hiking, sight seeing trip. Possibly Utah or Wyoming. Any suggestions? Its going to be a solo trip so no crazy 100 mile hikes.

id go with utah, because its the most different from anything we have around here

wyoming is still different but its green, we dont have orange striped sandstone canyons anywhere near here
plus you could rent a mtb and ride some of the best trails in america
