I have this one:

It's still basically new because riding sucks. But it seems like it doesn't have very high gears to me. I have to peddle pretty hard to get up to the speed of vehicle traffic.

Also, get a lightweight mudguard on the rear if you intend to use it on wet streets.

Well this thing can be fixed or free. What are the supposed advantages of fixed? I see some reviews saying you can remove the rear brake line for a cleaner look

Also, how would I put a basket on it?
The advantage of fixed is the control you get. If I was you I would set it to free. Much more relaxed that way. Baskets are for little old ladies. You could probably put a generic rear carrier on it. A front one would look silly on that sleek model.
That's what I was thinking. Thanks

Yoga chicks are fucking great lays.

But you have to strike before the veganism turns them old.

My goal is to score a ballet chick before it's too late. Ballet chicks are super sexy to me, but I'd have to find one that is a non-smoker, which I suppose is a unicorn.

Yeah she seems like my age. I have to knock her up soon. I need two sons.
