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)

Look for a U lock; brands that you can't go wrong with for a U lock from kryptonite's evolution series and on guard's pitbull series. That, and an accessory cable for your wheels to use in conjunction with the u lock.

You realize they redesigned the keys for these like 7 years ago right? No modern kryptonite lock can be picked with a bic pen.

"Evolution series 4"; I recommend the series 4 LS sub-series for portability.
I was just keeping it short; didn't know you guys were that literal considering those have long disappeared from shelves everywhere.

i assumed you didnt mean the troubled locks but wanted to clarify for others that may be trying to a few dollars. i probably should have been more constructive with my response as apposed to just being "smart".

Key should look like the one on the right. Avoid ones like the one on the left.

I've had a chrome bag for going on 7 years now. I feel like a dip**** every time I wear it now, because every ****ing kid with gauged ears at my uni wears one.

I mostly just stick with a leather backpack now. DAMNKIDSSTOLEMYSCENE

my gf has my one less cars shirt, but it only cost me 2 bucks from the thrift store. It was to tight. In a thrift store in alabama there were 4 racks of threadless shirts it was amusing

I much prefer the custom bag and my oakleys,

but I do see guys dressed like the cartoon all the time.

Why'd you get a chrome in the first place?

I like certain New Balance shoes because some are made in the U.S. and UK where people get paid decent salaries to make them. They're high quality and comfortable, which can't be said about many Nikes made in sweatshop factories in East Asia. I'm not gonna stop wearing New Balances because a bunch of d-bag kids start wearing them.

I can say with confidence that Chrome has mastered the art of creating messenger bags. Everything is perfect, except for their new wave of clientele.
