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)

Maybe why it was worth mentioning. Both thought they couldn't handle it, truth is they can as others have pointed out.
Mission accomplished, only a couple of dweeb comments to deal with, time to move on.

I was a messenger for week in 1997 or 1998. I couldn't hack it. It was better than being a substitute teacher. I only lasted a day at that.

I went riding with my friend to break in his Pompina. I'd post a video but it wouldn't fully encapsulate the essence of riding a bike in the dirt and people would make angry posts about it.

I love cats, but I'm kinda allergic. Can't be around them for too long or else my eyes start swelling and my nose goes berserk. It makes me sad.

Also, today I went out for the new bike's first ride today. Haven't biked in a month and decided to go up Mt. Hamilton. That was not a smart decision. Descending was fun though.

TL;DR
He got too carried away with "FTFY"s
Admin caught word of it and let him slide but he dished out some personal attacks.

And here we are.

He's in the time out corner for 2 weeks.

That red one with the removable hard top looks pretty good. Not sure what your price limit is.
