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)

well there could be. just say you want to ride. if you ride, they will come. ok that was stupid but seriously. you could start riding down the street and people will follow, like in rocky when he runs to the art museum. you could start a parade. im game for some paradin to the art museum.

Bikes: unknown road conversion, half built Benotto track

This week would be great except I am bikeless right now until my wheelset comes in. My beater has officially been retired and the wheelset has been relegated to a friends build, leaving me without a ride until Monday
