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)

Haha, I saw the commercial for the Carl's Jr. one on tv, so I think its a real thing. They really need to cover the thing in gravy or chili sauce for the full american effect.

Tough workout this morning. I've been at my apt 20min and I still feel like I got punched in the stomach. Ugh.

Got word today this is taking up room in someones garage and has got to go. Gonna pick it up this week. Looks like a VaLite 60cm I think. Not too sure what to do with it yet. Think just fix it up and ride it geared.

Nacho cheese (artificial imitation simulated chemical cheese byproduct) sauce would be more appealing to the target consumer.

Today's life on Strava:

Hey, who's this person who gave me kudos on my ride?
Oh, it must be this guy's son, they have the same the last name and ride together all the time.
Wow, he must be like 12 years old.
Well that's cool...this youngan is out riding and tracking his **** on Strava, good for him!
I hope I can be a positive influence for this kid...I should probably not swear in my ride titles for a bit, keep a low profile, don't want to offend anyone.
Let's look at this kid's accomplishments.
Wow, he's pretty fast...fast on a mountain bike too. Damn. I'm kind of jealous.
Wait a minute, this little ****er has more KOMs than I do.
**** this kid.

Dude, up until a couple days ago we(Cleveland) were having rainforest weather. It was crazy. Pouring rain every day, 90% rH, it was miserable. And I can't keep up witht he stupid lawn. It's like a foot tall, even though I mowed it last week, during the one hour we didn't have rain.

I can't wait to get to the West Coast, where I won't have a lawn, haha

Yesterday, still counts....

Monday - out of work at 11:30 pm - rode 8.5 miles home, packed and showered and in bed by 1 am
Tuesday - up at 4:55 am, ready, out the door and on the bike at 5:35 am - 8.5 mile ride to work - cleaned up and changed and working by 6:30 am
Tuesday - out of work at 11:30 pm - rode 8.5 miles home after a heavy rain on wet streets, showered, had a snack and in bed by 2 am.

Still feeling the effects of that today.

That sounds like a brutal work schedule. Kudos for still having the drive to ride a bike.

Unless you live in a condo or townhouse, you will have a lawn out here. And, if you are northern west coast like us, that lawn will grow just like you described every spring and every fall. Did I mention how much we like our townhouse!

I think he meant Ca, like south of the bay area, where you're not supposed to water your lawn.

np haha. I prefer the weather of the bay area to SD myself, actually. I could see myself moving there eventually.

Yeah, I'll always love LA, that's where I grew up. But the older I get, the more I really like NorCal. The weather, especially.

Cost of living out here is really dumb, something to consider before moving.

Average rent of a decent 1br/1ba place on the peninsula is just under 3k/mo. More if you want to live in SF.
