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)

Not technically "on the street", but close enough (apologies for the reflection in the window >.>)

Yes, taken in the States.

To be honest, I didn't give that one a second look, though maybe I should have. Unfortunately, bikes get neglected all the time. This one may be removed from its glory days perhaps, but I've seen far worse. It looks like it's being ridden, at the very least.
