well, good question; 42 x 17 gear 3 revs a second (aprox)going at a good clip * 60 seconds = 180 rev's per minute * ~150 minutes each round trip = 27,000 a day. 50 miles round trip / 2000 miles = 40 trips * 27000 = 1 million, eighty thousand revs. Damn, I need to start thing life cycle here, even then.. with a fixed gear...even if I spin a 100 revs/min...there is no coasting! It still takes 1,080,000 revs to go 2000 miles. Maybe start riding the road bike again ;)

de-facing public property! Saving the world 1 bike at a time!
I said nothing about defacing property :) and u can't prove anything. just dropping bread crumbs so I can find my way home.
I'm curious how many revolutions that is....hundred thousand, five hundred thousand...think of the gas you saved! Nice!
