YOU NEED A SS OR FIXIE!

[young Ed]

just been for my first spin on my very highly geared SS soon to be fixie and bombing it along on a almost flat very slight uphill at 20 odd is just incredible and you feel much more energetic and smug then you do with gears
cycling has become alive for me!
Cheers Ed
P.S even better if you don't have someone (my bro) governing how many bikes may be kept in the shed at any one time (only one for me! )

Or you pay the extra for gears?

 

[SS Retro]

Have one with gears and one without!

 

[Dusty Bin]

or just buy a geared bike and ride in one gear....

 

[derrick]

Every body should have a fixie, gives you a proper workout.

You had me all interested until you mentioned your speed and uphill bit. yawn!

I have had many fixed wheel and single speed and raced both over the too many years, all the bikes I now own have gears. I like hills, both up and down.

I ride fixed for commuting and in the winter, I have a geared bike but keep it for summer Sundays.

SS is cheaper and lighter and less to go wrong mechanically and SS drive trains just look sweeet!

[Dusty Bin]

Nonsense, Ed has discovered a completely new way of riding that nobody else has thought of.....
