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 to add:
Ctrl + 0 to reset.

You can also, hold down ctrl and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom out and in accordingly.

I'm glad I came here and learned about that zoom trick to change the default.

Not bad.

As a bonus, the duct tape will leave sticky residue all over your tire when you take it off, giving you more traction when you race your tarck bike at the velodrome.

Do what you should do with all of your posts, highlight them (can you even do that on a mac? hur duur), and press backspace (do you have that key on a mac? huuuur dur), instead of pressing reply.

hur.
