Carbon Neutral Fixxie Hey you! Yeah you, Mr. Snug driving your holier than thou Prius, well I got something that will blow your mind. No it is not Al Gore's $20,000 electric bill. It is this here bicycle, yeah it's fixed and carbon neutral. No coasting so no energy is wasted, can't say the same for your infinitely adjustable personal chilled air vents. Yeah I ride for fitness, fun, transportation and because I'm better than you. Let's see for $300, you get 100 gallons of gas, at 20 miles to gallon that is... carry the 2...2000 miles, maybe 2 months of driving left while I'll still be zipping by you while stuck in traffic and saving my green for some new hemp riding shorts, enjoy "oil suckers".

$1 Million dollar bike on ebay. Well the Caveman Bianchi auction is over but the joy I got from the questions from the auction were priceless. The listing itself was record setting for me 3356 hits for the seven days. Here is the 19 questions and answers posted during auction. Question & Answer Q: OK, here is my take on evolution. A short caveman 1st owned this bike. He slipped one day and took a painful hit on this 63 cm frame. OUCH. No more reproduction for that caveman. End of the line for that guy, CYCLE broken, pardon the pun. What do you think? A: Wow, you maybe a expert amateur evolutionary biologist/anthropologist. I can't wait for your thesis defense can I get a ticket? I have really enjoyed "selling" this bike, I think I would be disappointed to sell it now. The entertainment value may have exceeded the actual product value, I guess that happens often with modern marketing tactics. -Eric Q: Would you consider free shipping with but it now? Ok, seriousl
It is always amazing the fun and interesting people you meet through fixed gear bicycles. It is fun to talk to people that just get it . Well the Caveman Bianchi has been featured on Dennis's Fixed Gear Gallery , which is a must see, especially if you have not visited before. If you enjoy the spirit of riding fixed, I would say to check out this fun blog. Keep It Street Level. Chris has the fixxed perspective down. Gelato and Roman Holiday are great bike names, keep up the good work Chris.
