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)

Quick: 10 songs if you could only have 10 for your ride

Far from home.. no bike.. reduced to riding a spinning machine instead. Family sends me one of those free upload things for 10 songs.. My taste is varied, but here I've always found people have hidden gems... what I have so far:

Fugazi - Waiting Room
Radiohead - Sorrow
Johnny Cash - Gods gonna cut you down
Air - Venus


But anyway: if you could only have 10 songs for your ride.. what would they be? (artist/song)...

I think that all of these songs serve a different riding mood while all being great at most any time on my bike. FYI if you have not listened to Ernest Gonzalez DO IT!!! this song is actually in this video check him out!

Wildcat - Ratatat
Wake Up - Rage Against the Machine
While On Saturn's Rings - Ernest Gonzalez
Sexual Healing - Ben Harper
Back In Black - ACDC
Still DRE - DRE
Three Little Birds - Bob Marley
Aqueous Transmission - Incubus
Milestones - Miles Davis
I believe in a thing called Love - The Darkness

Upgraded to Lemonds.. where I'm at.. but I used to have one of those gold sparkly seats on my bianchi. Everyone laughed, but it had TI rails and was made by SDG..

Sadly, it broke under the weight of me, a bag full of PBR, a speed bump and the Coronado police.
