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)

Here's mine. A 2017 Bombtrack Arise 2. Kind of modified a bit. Actually only things stock are the bars and crank. This is my favorite of all my bikes. Nice to get on and just pedal, being able to go anywhere, gravel, road, etc, is a bonus too.

It is! Right at the end in Barre. Great ride after work to unwind. I usually start it at Glenwood street in Rutland, go to Barre, and back. Round trip is about 17 miles

I spent last week in Cork, Ireland for work. I didn't have much time for sightseeing, but did manage to squeeze in a couple of short morning rides around town using their bikeshare bikes.

The socks were $3 for two pair at Marshalls and the shoes were $70 shipped on eBay. I think I made out pretty well.

Took the '71 Gitane TdF fixed conversion out for this morning's Dawn Patrol ride, realized I hadn't ridden the loop that takes in Clem and Deadfall roads in a couple of years, corrected that oversight and was rewarded by a particularly nice sunrise. That spot seems to always provide them.
