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)

It's getting seedier as the years go by. Manufacturing town with not much manufacturing left. Certainly good times to be had; if you're Mad Max.

Blast from the past! I just caught this - any chance you lived in the apartment above the Yeung Fong chinese carry out? That's surely where that second photo is taken from. I had an ex-gf who lived in that apartment, I am super familiar with both those places.

If it wasn't 117 degrees I'd ride by the corner store in my old neighborhood. As it is, you'll have to settle for streetview.

This was my go to for hangover-busting powerades and off brand BBQ potato chips. Brought my bike inside:




This was the liquor store, luckily walking distance from the apartment because I wouldn't even lock up outside this place:
