It's a single speed, but not like many here.

The whole you and 49 others like this - explained.
Taken straight from a like on Facebook. Someone posts a picture. I like it, along with 49 other people. After I like it, it says "you and 49 other people like this."
Kinda loses a hell of a lot when I have to break it down like this.

I read an article somewhere a few months ago that was saying that employers seeking employees consider it a "red flag" when someone doesn't have a FB account. Isn't that weird? I seriously hope not having one doesn't keep me from getting a job....

I'm on it, and I think our employees are, too, but I'd take it as a 'red flag' if an employer wanted to know, or if a prospective employee made it known. Kind of like some other things that "everyone does," but not everyone thinks you should talk about.

i think they(employers) see not having one is a sign of being anti-social, or not a team player. It's just weird to me. I see most social media as being pretty anti-social in reality.

I had the Facebooks before. Was too busy Facebook stalking my ex wife. Dropped it and never looked back. Feels good to not be on it although I miss quite a bit of stuff in relations to social rides that I go on because they are all on it and my friends pretty much have to tell me about the upcoming rides.

my bike in town bike mode. Still need to get some parts. Maybe a higher handlebar (some cms).
Also, can some kind soul measure the width and height of a 32 tire mounted on a wheel? I know it can varies a bit, but I just want to see if I can dream of fitting one or not.

It can vary a LOT depending on the rim. Personal experience with identical 35mm tires on two different rims resulted in an inflated width difference on almost 5mm.
