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)

Today some lady decided she needed to slow down enough to make sure I was aware that she considered me a ****ing ******* for riding my bike. I responded in kind and she hit her brakes like she was going to stop and then drove away. If you're going to yell things out of your car at someone, at least have the fortitude to continue the exchange on equal terms.

Also I've decided to print this out and keep a copy of it in my bag.

ive been thinking about doing the same thing but rubberbanding them around baseball sized rocks and throwing them through peoples windows. my better judgement has kept me from doing it so far but its a battle every day.

My plans involved camping an hour drive away, and with no car there ain't no way I'd get to work on time. Oh, and I got Lumberg'd at lunch, so I am indeed getting up tomorrow to work. Woohoo.

Off to go get that six pack now.

Today, I cut the steerer on my new commuter bike.

I learned:

1: Steel tubes are a lot harder on the hacksaw elbow than carbon tubes are.

2: $45 fork tubes are a lot easier on the nerves than carbon tubes are.

A Google search does not relate to approval.
