From Old Guys Who....
In '56 during my first SoCal Road Championship around the Rose Bowl
in Pasadena everyone had to use a single fixed gear. Being young and
dumb I put on a much larger gear than guys like Jack Disney et al were
using (no Jr. restrictions). On the last lap of a ten miler I was off
the front (just pedaled slowly away) and was on my way to a possible win
when they noticed my slow pedal stroke didn't quite match my speed.
Then, of course. I was run over by the train quite a ways before the
line. Later, Jack came up to me and asked, "Hey kid, what kinda gear
you got on that thing?"
My youthful, almost moment in the sun
