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)

Had I known the neon fade rum runner would become so rare and coveted, I'd have held on to mine.

What the hell?! HAhaha, was he actually fast? I'm guessing not, that is an insane gear to turn.

He was actually very fast and lead the group most of the ride. He also could stop on a dime, I actually felt a little bit like a ***** after seeing has strong his legs were. He should enjoy those knees as much as he can before he blows them out in 6 months

Knees are overrated. Also I thought you meant on the track or something, I feel that's way too big of a gear to accomplish anything on the track, but who am I to say that.

Today I, had lunch with Gigantor


Some crazy burger that had a fried egg and ham on top too. Pretty amazing. It was so damn nice out, really hard to go back to work.

i thought that yellow goo on top was the yolk for second, then i saw the red stuff underneath.

you guys need to take pictures together when there's a moderately big ride.

There were a few of us that were pretty regular at our local track's beginner sessions

Nagrom, TheRealFaux (and friends), Mucky, danvuquoc, and a few others have come out. It's kinda cool. Eventually, I'm sure somebody will organize a group ride. I know Jandro, TheRealFaux, and redpear all ride with the SF Chapter of WPH (I guess they ARE the SF chapter)

Got rad last night after finals, slept for 3 hours, and then rode 30 miles this morning.

Now, shower/wheel build/haircut/lunch/coffee/packing/dinner/who knows. So much to do before I head on over to Seattle on Saturday.

Hipster in spandex? My world has been turned upside down.

Also @taking the lane 0:50-0:55: really? Move over to the right, minimize your presence, and let the cars pass. no reason to be a ******.

Don't sweat it. I really don't think Origin 8 actually "makes" anything.
