Heavy Seas, the Single Speed Outlaw team and the Tour  //

Monday - April 22, 2013

I'm riding a fixed gear metric century (the Tour de Cure) as part of the Heavy Seas/Single Speed Outlaw team to raise money to stop diabetes and I need your help. A donation of as little as $15 will help me reach my fundraising goal (but if you want to donate more, please do!). I'm keeping this short because I'm sure you know someone who has been affected by diabetes and you already know how important it is to stop this disease (there are 26 million people in the United States with the diabetes). So please help me raise funds for research and education. I'll be riding on May 4th, which is just around the corner so don't wait to contribute! Thanks, any and all amounts donated are greatly appreciated! Donate: http://main.diabetes.org/goto/joewhitehair - riderx

Fixed gear bikes banned in Beijing?  //	Tuesday - April 2, 2013
Fixed gear bikes banned in Beijing? Or is it an April Fool's joke? Or an April Fool's joke that winds up being true? This website is claiming that riding a fixed gear in Beijing will get you a fine. This a site reports the ban is legit. Neither site is exactly the New York Times, - riderx
