Hehe, knowing Leah she probably put it in the hardest gear and went like

fellows trying to keep up with her!

Great ride and awesome documentation, Leah!

I cannot argue but I will say that at 67 I thoroughly enjoyed my recent

Wesley, I’m laughing out loud. I never looked at the drivetrain until I read

He rides single speed. Loves singlespeed. So, Ben has a singlespeed. I’m taking

Joe, yes it was so fun to be around like-minded folks. Now that my kids are
teenagers it is getting easier for me to branch out and do fun things like

I love the black Hunqapillar, I've seen another one around here in years

these sorts of rides.
I doubt that sort of position exists…but still.

Since Marc's Hunqapillar is now black, my gray/orange 54cm is even more

To be honest, I've long thought of changing mine to black. I'm not big on
