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)

Got talked in to riding my buddy's tall bike again. This time in the city festival's parade. Finally tracked down a pith helmet to channel Clarence Pickard. The echoes and the whistle of that thing while you ride were kind of a deal breaker.

I'm not sure if it counts as riding when the kickstand is down.

I took my 3 year old to the elementary school so he could ride his sweet Spider Man SS. Unfortunately, you get a picture of my ugly mug on my nearly finished SS commuter instead of him.

Here's a really bad photo of me riding my bike, this was around mile 25-30 of the 90~ mile ride.

nice ride

get some cycling shorts and some hoods for the hand position. it kinda looks like ur wearing clipless but i cant tell.

if u start riding long like that more frequently take my advice and thank me later

added in edit: helmets r grate for protectin' the noggin'. id prob be dead or even more of a vegetable now if it weren't for helms

Clipless and there are bibs under those cut offs, I just refuse to rock out with my cock out and I have the deda rhm02's which even without brakes have a decent "hood" position(I'm actually in them in that picture) and ride once or twice a week over 40-60 miles. I won't get into the great helmet debate though.

Well to be completely honest, I must confess that my mother always told me: "If you don't have anything nice to say, than don't say anything at all."

I should also add that I love mom
