Oh I see, it's not even a fixed gear. It's a single speed. hah...
I was wondering how that would work...putting kids who can't ride on fixed gears that are broken when you buy them..

Not suitable for solo-riding, that's for sure.
I always wanted to try out the BOSE earbuds, see if those measure up to the greatness of their Soundwave.

Yea I admit there really expensive headphones but the sound is awesome and look pretty sweet.. Plus I got the product red edition with some proceds going to AIDs relive.. So i don't feel that much bad going broke for these bad boys.. and did I mention there super loud and the bass is thunderous.. I plan to be deaf by the time I'm in my 30s.

It's a cool looking bike. But, can someone explain to me why a bike with one gear is still about $50.00 more expensive (@ Walmart/Target) than a bike (road, mountain, cruisers) with multiple gears?

Dude, duh, lke, omg, really tho?
I saw carbon fiber frame and I had to see what they wasted on some potentially good carbon fibers and resin.
but christ... they still make that shimano 2200 crap? It really only costs an extra 30-50 bucks to get stuff that wont die in a week.
