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)

Not the biggest Matt & Kim fan but they are fantastic live. I am jealous about you seeing QOTSA.

I have tickets for the following:
Portugal.The Man
City and Colour
Passion Pit

Waiting to buy AFI tickets & possibly Empire of the Sun.

No. Most of the bands aren't "popular" by radio playing standards.

Jealous! I've seen QOTSA before, they're fantastic live. Would love to see Built to Spill. No one ever comes to PHX, I wish I still lived a few hours from Chicago - everyone tours there.

Today some ********** stole my saddle. Who the **** steals a Charge Spoon? I know people are going to be ******** and take whatever isn't nailed down, but a $25 saddle? Thanks for the seven mile standing half hour dickbags. Gonna go to the LBS tomorrow for a saddle pole and throw my Kashimax (a saddle that sucks ten dicks at once) on the Shogun for now. FG is now rebuilt and officially on full-time commuter duty.

I'm with Scrod now, I hate people.

Today I went on a ride. While descending it always seems a lot longer than all the climbing (I flip to my freewheel) which I guess is a good thing.

One of the critiques of my bike in another thread was that I chained my Charge Spoon to a seat stay. It was because of this. If a drug addict is stealing it, they don't care what it is. If it is someone stealing it for the metal, they don't care how "cheap" it is.

Sorry dude, at least it wasn't an expensive saddle.

Some guy and girl decided that on a busy bike path they should let their dog run across with the leash & almost take out my girlfriend causing me to slam on my brakes & fall off. Wheel was out of true so I'm waiting for them to give me the $20 I paid. I should have killed their dog instead of stopping [joking of course].

Dogs on bike paths are the worst idea.

Dogs are actually what most of my close calls come from. Though I generally don't like dogs due to past experiences, however I don't mind these huskies I pass by all the time in a yard. They don't bark or hardly pay attention to people passing by. I nearly **** bricks every time I go by since it is so amazing how well behaved they are.

Today I cleaned my drivetrain on my daily rider. Gotta have a silent drivetrain or I lose it.
