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)

Good Pics @Tejano Trackie I would enjoy riding there.

The pic of the bull is interesting, he looks friendly or at least tolerant but is still kinda imposing.

Thanks. I was not nearly as close as the photo suggests. I zoomed in from about twenty feet away so as not to create a problem. Cows will run away, bulls you never know. I would not get near one w/o a fence between us anyway.

Nope. Saw it on my lunchtime Starbucks ride today. It's a 23 Ford T, or at least started life as one.

The owner hadn't had it out in a few months, got a block or two and couldn't keep it running. We figured it was probably a little water in the gas from condensation. I stopped to check it out and he let me snap a pic with the bike.

He rolled it into a random driveway when it stalled and the owner of the house (in the pic below) was really cool about it. She happens to own a 43 Dodge pickup show car. He was like, "Do you mind if I leave it here while I get some fresh gas?" and she was like, "Hell no! I don't mind at all!"

On the way home from work I got some better pics and realized that's an egg sac.
They seem to the glass balls people put on their bird baths sometimes.

Because American patriotism is such a redneck thing to do. If that bike or that jersey were painted in the likeness of the Union Jack or the Swiss flag or something, nobody would comment.

Well, it was September, and it has barely rained here since July. Still plenty of time for that.
