Single Speed?


If I didn't have hills like these around my house, I might ride a fixed gear bike. Sure, this hill would be great for working on my buns of steel, but I have to also think about my knees of rust.

This hill is on Stillwood headed east, right before crossing into Dekalb County. It's not very long, but it is steep enough to kill momentum and makes a great warm-up in any gear.

The morning was so nice, I took several shots. This shot of a Bradford Pear shows a branch that would brush my helmet as I pass under. The image is now my computer's desktop image.

Hey Jett:

I have seen you posting a few commuting places. Just dropping by to say hello.

Hey Midnight Rider, Thanks for stopping by. I had left a comment on your site how I like your photos and decided to take the camera out with me yesterday morning. I think this could become part of my routine.

If there's one thing we have plenty of, it's hills.

Don't have camera to prove it but scenery is just a pretty in Garden City.

Hey Mom, Thanks for stopping by.

Savannah has a rather popular blogger who has been sharing his images of Savannah, if not Garden City. His posts are under the title Bike Year.

I like the idea he mentioned in a recent post: posing his bike in the photo.

I'll bet Forsyth Park is looking very nice this time of year as well as all the azaleas and dogwoods in Garden City.
