Jashb, it sounds as if you're so far into singlespeeding that you seem to have reached the crusading point where you think everybody should have one!

I would only consider a singlespeed as a novelty after I'd bought the half dozen other bikes I want. The biggest benefit of modern bikes is the gears.

When people go and buy a hybrid or an MTB the salesman entices them with gears in the same way that 4X4 salesmen tell housewives the car has the capability to go anywhere they want. They will never use that capability but they like to know it's there in case they ever need to do an emergency dash up a mountain/through a river/snowdrift/flood.....
