Single Speeders


So it turns out that my Dad knows a few things that I don't. He insisted that just because it was 36 degrees out side i should where a jacket riding my bike or i would get sick. Well of course I was hard headed so i didn't wear one. Well he got the chance to say "I told you so". Well i got over it in two days, my dad got it and got rid of it 3 weeks later. We didn't get on our bikes for that whole time. Well we went riding at umstead because there was a streak of rain. But on to the real story, this brings us to Saturday morning. It was a degree or two below freezing and my Dad was not going to go out side to bike. Well i talked him into driving me to the trail and he would meet me later on. Well I got onto the trail and was behind a guy on a single speed (bike without any gears) and I passed him thinking "Wow, that was too easy". I met up with my Dad later on and we rode until our legs fell off. The next day we went to ride on a super secret trail with a group of guys. Two or three of them had single speeds. Well single speeders are a different breed. These guys were fast. I mean they were fast. Me and my Dad were going fast and these guys were way up ahead of us. So one of the single speeders had the coolest things. He had a motorcycle chain and chain ring on his bike. I told him I liked his chain, he told me "I don't like things to wear out". If I ever get a single speed I will be getting a motorcycle chain on it because, that is so awesome!
