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)

been doing a lot of hiking, biking, etc lately. Nothin special.

however, I was creepin on an old friend from schools instagram and saw this. Kid traded a "$125 tablet + $100" for this bike. And what doesnt make sense is that he is a sponsored DH mtn racer and isnt a bike shoebie; yet he still thought this was a solid purchase. I so confused?

Today I pedaled my bike for the first time. It's been 73 day since I got involved in that accident. Doctor told me it'd take at least 6 months for me to start walking again.
But I hardened the **** up, took the physiotherapy and my diet very serious and managed to heal a lot faster.
I still have some trouble walking, been doing hydrotherapy every single day and I should be fully function again soon.
For now I'm allowed to ride on the roller for 10 minutes, 3 times per day, doesn't seem much, but it makes me real happy to get back on the saddle.

Today I got summoned for jury duty in August, and we noticed that my girlfriend's bike got stolen out of our garage sometime in the last 2 days. Crackhead neighbors keep leaving the damn door open -- or maybe just sold it themselves. Double ugh... time for another drink.

Today for the second day in a row I commuted on my touring bike instead of my fg. UGH it is so heavy and slow. I'm riding it because I'm going bike camping with some girlfriends in a week and a half and need to ride the touring bike to carry gear, so I figured I'd better get used to it.

Today I turned 27. Best part? I no longer feel like I'm living a lie when I put my racing age on the liability waiver.
