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)

Broken hand be damned, I just popped the max amount of ibuprofen and got some time in. Not a soul to be seen.

I got a couple job interviews next week at a few shops for full time positions.

Unrelated, I want to build up an all city thunderdome on Xr200s.

Rode my son's GT (Performer, I think) freestyle bike from the auto mechanic back to my house after bringing the van in for tires. First ride of 2014 was not what I anticipated.

Is that velodrome just open to the public when specific events are not scheduled? Very cool.

I noticed the center tread on my rear Clement tire is starting to wear down. I only have about 100 or fewer miles of dirt and road. I won't be riding these until I need them.

... I got the Fiero out of the garage today. It was actually a Fiero. Also put together a wheelbuild list. Does anyone have anything against the All City New Sheriff Hubs?

Tonight I hit a nasty pothole and got my first flat in over two years. Of course, it was very literally the one time I didn't have my tools, patch kit, etc with me because I was just riding four blocks to get some tacos.
