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)

Have to nominate myself for screwiest day on a bike:
1 bike + 12hrs drinking on July 4 + getting hit on by a dominatrix + getting flashed by a friend's wife = 3 crashes into 3 seperate hedges on the way home + big scar on elbow and one lost blinky
Sounds like a fun day up until the hedges.

Word, feel better sir. I'm going to have an alley cat up here in Oxford sometime in February (President's Day?), so keep an eye and ear out.

I don't envy that dude. It's just funny watching people swoon (and swing) on his nuts and act like they don't.

Best Race:
VELO CITY (three cities, left coast, mid coast, right coast). tons of people from left/right coasts came to chicago's Ed Rudolph Velodrome and made it a great time - racing and more!
(whaddya say Squid? Doing it again this year?)

Old dog, no bite
Karstens

The year the music died:
2006, thefge (run by Terror_in_Pink). It was funny while it lasted. For those unaware, it was a place where emaciated young men could sned pictures of themselves on their track irons, semi- or totally nude.
Also - the "Art" thread is pretty cool, TiP! Who knew people on here could do more than talk smack and be completely addicted to bikes?

As much as I hated on dutret, he kept me coming back.

Where is that picture I have of some dude running into a pole during a snapshot.

Not self-nominating, but thanks to all those who helped me quit smoking this year.

Event missed by most people with a life outside of Bike Forums_the disappearance of DW.



I have no clue as to what happened. I was looking forward to an update on the Handbuilt bike sow.

Help a clueless brother out?

That's what I thought. I understand the sentiments of some of the more senior members who think he's a good framebuilder, but f*ck, he had poor interwebs manners.

So does anyone want to link to the thread where he announced his departure. I seem to have missed something that entertaining.

All his posts are gone. I think he asked a moderator to delete them all.

DW was incredibly knowledgeable. i miss his input on stuff. quite frankly there's so much disrespect flying around that it doesn't mean much to say that DW was easy to pick a fight with.
