I think of fixed gear bikes more like tools: beautiful in their simplicity. But when I think of how many annual cycling trips to Europe this would represent (ie. all of them for the rest of my life)I cannot understand it at all.

It's beautiful, though. You just couldn't justify to ride it. It would have to go on the wall and it's too expensive for that ... :-)Grooverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746451980347654639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847712656239809973.post-39248365840581524052008-10-08T20:11:00.000+02:002008-10-08T20:11:00.000+02:00When should we expect to see one flashing along th...When should we expect to see one flashing along the streets in Ottawa or through the Gatineau's??<BR/><BR/>;^)Lily on the Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275939535831908513noreply@blogger.com
