Sam, I am!

[Boris Bajic]

Sam (a fictional pal) said I should try a single-speed freewheel on my fixed-gear bicycle.

He told me it would be great in a house, great with a mouse...

Great with a fox, great in a box....

His rhyming exhortations were almost without end...

So... reluctabntly and with an alterior motive, I tried it.

Then a bit more, then a bit more...

And I thought "I like single-speed, Sam-I-Am. I do, I like it, Sam-I-Am".

And I will ride it in the house and I will ride it with a mouse... And so on.

With apologies to the memory of Dr Seuss, I have to say that even with a cracked rib, single-speed is fun, fun, fun!

It's ok. It's maybe even more than ok off-road. But on my commute, same gearing, really steep climbs, the dead spots of ss are no fun at all compared with fixed.

Wrong.

Has to be FIXED ! A Verse/Poem or not, still wrong

A have a friend who rides fixed
I watched his wheels transfixed

It looked fun, I thought I'd have a go
An lo, out my hips joints did blow!
