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)

Blame it on cycling and the high humidity we have for keeping our skin in good condition. I think I've been carded more since turning 30, than my 18 to 29 years.

40 and not slowing down too too much yet.
Same with the not aging.... I think it's the exfoliating road filth on your face while riding in the rain.

The other thread was more interesting for some odd reason.
