Buying more than you need is what's ridiculous. if a single speed bike accomplishes what you need it for, a quick grocery-getter/errand runner etc, then getting more bike is what's poser.
If I were exercising on my bike or training for a triathalon or mountain biking or doing road work, I'd get the appropriate bike.

I said it's ok if you want a beater to go to bars. But if I was grabbing groceries or anything with weight id want it easier to pedal to compensate compared to not being weighted down. Still even if your city is flat, stopping and starting is far more efficient with gears. Easier to pedal when slowing for a stop, easier to pedal when speeding back up then gear back up
