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)

In The Gutter

Do you know what I always see in the gutters when I'm out on my rides? Gloves. Gloves of all kinds. Work gloves, winter gloves, dress gloves, kids gloves. I count them. Today I saw 7. Guess people just toss them out the windows.
