Fixed gear, not dead now 10% more hardcore

Whoa! The dirty bandana around the front hub of this fixie scared the shit out of me it was so hardcore.

I have been told a yellow bandana configured in this manner is code for 'owner likes to have his face pissed on, preferably asparagus pee.'

Giant Hybrid

Got a ride in on Giant's new battery-assisted hybrid today at a top secret Bay Area location courtesy of intrepid Dispatch overlord Eric Doyne.

The rig works very well, particularly helpful for city riding with frequent red light/stop sign pauses. The electric front wheel drive means you're very quickly back up to speed from a standing start, great news for folk out there who would like to ride to work/run errands on a bike.

My parents would love this rig, and so would I for grocery-getting, unfortunately a bit on the spendy side for someone with a quiver of capable human-powered bikes, but if the price falls into the 500 dollar range (unlikely) and if it had serious cargo/towing capacity i'd be into owning one. At nearly two grand, not sure who the target market is here, but i'm guessing loaded lefties.

why? Because those restarts aregenerally the most intense efforts in a commute, the ones that leave you drenched in sweat--and that push many people away from commuting/errands and back into the car.

Well done!
