Sarasota, for one. Rode 30 miles yesterday without changing elevation more than a couple feet. (I was on a 10 speed, but I'm tempted to convert it) Where’s flat enough? Sarasota, for one.

I've always wanted to make a franken-bike of my old three speed and new aluminum framed touring bike.

Now I know who my mom gave it to. I feel better. I’m pretty sure Yehuda has my old 1970s S/A 3 spd; and yes we had twist grips back then. Now I know who my mom gave it to. I feel better.

But really, the advantage of a fixed wheel or single speed is the fact that they can be far more fun to ride than a geared racing bicycle.

Ardelli Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:39:33 +0000 http://localhost/kickstandcomics/06102008/#comment-45574 The biggest advantage of a single speed is simplicity. Every part you add to ANY mechanical device, including a bike, just adds one more thing that can break. Single speeds are among the most reliable of bikes, rarely breaking down; that, and simplicity of operation, are probably the main reasons why most children's bikes tend to be single speeds. That being said, I personally couldn't get along without my derailleur and gears nowadays; I like to pedal at a high cadence so I need to be able to adjust my gear ratio to adapt to changing terrain and wind conditions without having to slow my legs down. ;) The biggest advantage of a single speed is simplicity.

Which would be awesome. Internal hub gears forever! I think he’s got a Sturmey-Archer too. Which would be awesome.
