Singlespeed & Fixed Gear"I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)
While, I suppose, it is possible to build one fixed gear, I don't think I, or my knees, really like the idea of riding over loose gravel and dirt on a fixed gear bike.
