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)

If the building owner doesn't bust the wall and then "steal" it just to turn around and sell it

Where are you finding all of this glorious mud!? My Salsa Vaya only gets to play in the dirt if I head to NJ or out to Cunningham park in Queens.

My winter cruiser. 40/17 fixed or 40/20 free depending on the day. Currently rolling fixed as I've had my brakes ice up and be pretty useless some days.




And the shred sled, with extra shred. Sans basket and rack mind you, that was moved to the ride above ^

that particular brand of mud came from NJ, had a 50 mile fatbike race saturday. theres a good amount of horse **** mixed in there too.

we also have 40+ miles of local trails on guido island, but dont tell anyone. cuz were not supposed to be on most of it.

check out sprain ridge and graham hills in the westchester region, you can easily ride there on the south county trailway or take the MNR. theres also ****tons of dirt and gravel roads in westchester/yonkers regions up north

I dig this, but I'm not certain as to why. It sorta reminds me of a '20s Indian meant to ride the wall of death.
