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)

He was probably so blinded by your beauty and so nervouse to be in the company of such a lovely lady that he never even saw your bike.

supposedly they're a blast to ride, and cornering on them is pretty wild.

Yeah, appearently you need to get over the "leaning" thing and just turn the handlebars. Now my mind is spinning with dreams of a fixie trike. You know a grocery getter. I bet I could actually pull of a no handed trackstand, maybe even no footed. Crazyness.

"Now my mind is spinning with dreams of a fixie trike. "

no big shakes; my 2-year-old girl has herself a radio-flyer FG trike.

Though I was quite excited to see her execute her first skid the other night....I'll have 'er on the tues/thurs night rides in no time...

Could have been worse....he could have stopped at a broom leaning against the wall and said:
"Well here's your ride, should I follow you home to make sure you get back to your cave safe?"

Enjoy
