I don't get the single speed thing. Do you only ride on a velodrome? Or are there just no hills where you live?

QUOTE(Demick @ Nov 10 2006, 03:55 PM)  I don't get the single speed thing. Do you only ride on a velodrome? Or are there just no hills where you live? This bike is just my "ride around the neighborhood" bike. I have a road bike with 10 speed Campy for real rides, although I haven't been on the road in a while, I value my life too much these days. I love my singlespeed mountain bike. Quiet and simple, no chain slapping. Teaches you to milk momentum out of each turn, builds strength, develops spin. It lets you get back to basics, forget all technology and feel like you once did as a kid on your BMX bike. Hills on a singlespeed are fine, you just crank up them, and use all the momentum you can get. |
