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)

Just make sure you grip them near the stem.

First ride on the road (been riding the trainer) since I decided to quit pedaling going downhill at 26 mph two weeks ago. BTW this was not one of my better ideas! Got in 60 miles of roller hills on the fg bike-had to get back on the horse so to speak. Last couple of hours of the ride was a bit gritty. Off to the doc to get stitches removed from the elbow. I think it will feel better with the stitches out.

Alcohol is liquid calories.


Came up hard at a tent sale today, grabbed a Burton snowboard jacket for 50 bucks since my rain jacket last year got a rip in it during a crash.

Time to go shoulder tap people in the parking lot then, they'll take pity once they see that face.
