I found the Let it Ride Ride Ride tonight. Two guys (Steven from San Francisco and Peteris from Latvia) are riding their bikes from Stockholm, Sweden to Barcelona, Spain. About 2700 miles fixed gear. It looks like their first video post was on April 8th and right now the current post is from June 3rd when they did Denmark to Germany. Check them at http://www.letitriderideride.com/. Here is their first video. Trailer from Let It Ride Ride Ride on...
Read MoreSingle Speed Tour Map with Photos
Here is what I managed to do yesterday on my single speed. I tracked the entire trip on my iPhone using the MotionX GPS app. I just started using this app and ordered a bike mount for it yesterday. More on the app in a later post. I also managed to snap a few pics with my iPhone along the way. I used Google Earth to combine the GPS rout and the photos. All the photos are around the downtown area so zoom into the map to see where I took them. Click the camera icons on the map to see the photos. I have never liked riding a road bike. Dirt is just too much fun. Some how a single speed makes...

Barring any mechanical issues (which are...
Read MorePost Race Single Speeding
I jumped on the Single Speed after work tonight. After Sunday’s race and festivities I wanted to just get on my bike and just ride. I really had no idea where I wanted to go so I just started riding. When I started out it was raining. I got a few good lessons on riding my single speed in the rain. I only have a front brake. That was fun! About a third of the way into my ride my tension arm started acting up. It was getting worse and I had to stop twice to try and adjust it. I never did get it adjusted just right and got pissed off after the second adjustment. Up until today my...
