* Those Crazy Fixed Gear Folks *

My friend Rainier won his first Alley Cat Race. He races thru the city of San Francisco -- dodging vehicles, pedestrians and other bikes on a bike with no brakes. Cool, huh!!!! In case you haven't heard or have never been -- San Francisco has some steep freakin' hills. They are so steep that I often swear or let out a little scream when I'm driving a vehicle on them. Oh, I also forgot to mention -- his bike only has one gear. ~~~~~yikes, watch out for those cars!!!
