I gotta admit that after riding a FG for the past 12 years or so I'm kinda embarrassed to be seen on one now.

like this man:

"Wrecked while totally still. Then a group of bitches laughed while I was down."

but did ridicule stop him? NO. he persevered.

or this gal:

"sara broke her ankle in half last night, but the bike's ok - b.t."

but did imminent footcapitation stop her? NO. she kept riding... kinda.

what i'm trying to say is... well, i forgot, but that picture of will is funny.

No, you aren't in a night club. Rather you are standing over a lake of sweat, intensely aware you are alive by the pumping of your heart and by your spent muscles. You have just completed an hour journey on a specialized stationary bike, an endeavor called "Fixed Gear Cycling," the hottest, hippest aerobic group workout to hit the nation since jazzercise.

this is disturbing.

Although I don't think this blogger saw the track stand comp on speed that Bryant put together.
