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)

A cop once pulled me over and actually said ,"Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle." and told me get out.

I'm still getting used to riding fixed again after my knee injury, and I probably have to raise the seat but at least I finally finished.
