I just got a roadie, and I tarcking love it. I still ride fixed though.
I ride fixed when I’m putting around with my wife. All my “serious” riding is geared.
believe me if i had a wife who rode the bikes it would be a serious business
out ATM but hopefully back soon?
it sucks around here for commuting.
and the way things are going i’d rather put more money into my gears.
the way things are going?
you got a geographical upheaval going on around your area?
eh just consistently hilly and my family’s home is kind of in the low point of town. my dad and i have been doing a lot of distances together lately. i’m really getting into the touring idea thing

Bout 3/4 of mah riding is now geared. The fixed is fun, but basically only gets used for short trips and situations that necessitate long lockups.
just turned the tarck single speed. i’m actually doing my best to get it back into rotation.
going to build up the mountain bike single speed, it will probably just be used for winter commuting.
I thought I remembered you having a nicer old Trek conversion. I guess I was wrong.
I currently have a single speed in the stable, but no fixed gear. I rarely ride the single speed either.
if i had a geared road bike that i could lock up as much as i lock my track it would get used A LOT.
i commute on cx or Japarmount right now. Just bought new tarck bike that will mostly be used on the tarck. Actually, i think i’ll take new tarckbike out for a spin right now
brb
I mainly ride my geared bike, but on the rare occasion I ride my fixed I smile the whole time. I really should sell both my bikes and build the Surly Pacer I want.
Nothing fixed in my stable anymore.
Goooood riddance.
my geared bike has been in pieces for months. someone decided to sell some parts from it.
i am super paranoid about people stealing my oversized front rim
Seriously, you and Nate, pretty much have the same exact relationship as Jen and I. We are twin couples. She complains about me selling parts off her bikes out from under her too!
how do you get away with that?
That ain’t the way to treat a lady who rides. I stole parts from my lady’s bike in teh winter when it wasn’t gettin’ touched, but that’s a different story.
I just remembered, once I get to Michigan I have a geared bike there. And the bike that Rusty is letting me use in Chicago is geared. I will be geared for the next week!
