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)

A close call with a car or truck reminds me how precious, fragile, and brief life is. It always reminds me how great life is and how much I enjoy the sun and wind on my face.
