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)

Report me too.

I confess to being slightly pleased whenever I find that I'm not hip to the latest fads, movements and "things."

Twitter makes my desk job a bit more bearable, so I have Tweetdeck running in Chrome all day. It keeps me up to date on breaking news...and the latest ridiculousness.

I look forward to you guys saying Damn Daniel somewhere down the road in 5 years, lol

I had seen dozens of dam Daniel vids but i never knew where it came from...



My favorite meme since the "wat" lady is hands down, hits blunt.
I could read those endlessly and conuously be entertained

Today I am taking the fixed gear for my commute to work. Gotta remember to not try to coast. Been a couple of months now I think.

Today in these parts it was cold. No wind or precipitation, but only about 21 degrees.

I had not been on my bike in at least a week, so I really wanted to ride.

I put on several layers of good, warm clothes and set out.

It wasn't much fun. I only went about six miles, and I decided I'll wait for it to warm up a bit before I ride again.

Looks like a chain guard bracket. I see another at the far end of the chain stay.

Yeah it's a chainguard bracket, as Squid mentioned. This is a Taiwan Raleigh so nothing special.

Not today, but yesterday, our 'Tooth & Nail' kits featuring rad artwork by @thewilson arrived. They'll be up on our site shortly after 2016 dies.

Those are so badass!

My new kits came this week too...I think I'm up to 8 HP kits now. I should probably buy stock in the company.

Really jealous that you (maybe especially you knowing how much you hate cold) can ride outside with summer kit on and be comfortable right now

I just did some #approachbybike, ride 6 miles, run 8 miles, ride 6 miles home
Hands were blocks of ice about 5 minutes into the ride 6 miles home portion.

Thank god there were no oh **** moments that required liberal quantities of brake lever cuz that was just not happening

It was in the 70s the last two days, had to get out there. We're back to normal today, then rain tonight and a cold front.

I'm so ready for 110 degrees again.
