Just trendy/cool/hipsterish.
Although - I use only one gear at my bike anyway, even uphill. Just "sportier" riding that way, when you pop an easy gear it takes too long to ride and gets boring.

I think the trend will continue. There is value in single purpose things. Multi tasking is overrated anyway. We should all be single tasking!

No, he did however get a good price on the bike, direct import from Amsterdam.

Back in my youth we always rolled single gear.

Bladewire · 08-07-2014, 06:20 PM

I just finished this last week. Anyone wanna go for a spin?

NIGHTWISH99 · 08-08-2014, 12:03 AM

...what's it called? The DSU(doubleseatedunicycle)? Nice idea but i think you will need a partner at your weight to get balance on it...

Single speed might be ok as a beater to take to bars, but for any real riding you are just sacrificing the ability to go faster. Being a couple ounces lighter isn't going to compensate when you max out how fast you can peddle in your gear. Or if you have a big fast gear, then to get it started you'll just be very slow

So yea... Hipsterish

Whatever. It's fucking light and tires are slim - 0.25. I rode it today - pure pleasure.
Fun is I was unable to figure out what speed of a regular bike can be compared to a
single speed bike - no shop had the answer.

So, had to try it before ordering, its a pure 7th speed - I mean 3 on the left bar and 7 on the right.

Choopa_Pardo · 08-08-2014, 06:35 AM

I ride a single speed I built primarily. I live in a flat city.

The frame is from my Dad's old bike, had been collecting dust in his shed. I gave it a new life. Great bike, blast to ride. Very fast.

too funny seeing people with the need to denigrate a bicycle because it's pure simplicity/single-purpose.

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.

PR_Glen · 08-08-2014, 07:11 AM

ok am i mixing up single gear and fixed gear? I have a feeling those are 2 very different things here..

also my bike has 21 gears and is light as shit so how would that effect the weight exactly?

They are.

Single speed is a bike you run the same manner as your 21 but you have one speed only - means you speed pedaling it rolls on... but fixie is where you NEVER is able to stop pedaling, but you could even do BACK pedal

The best fixie could be 9kg max.

fixed gear the pedals always turn with the rear wheel is turning, single speed can coast with the pedal not turning. I have both hubs on mine, I can flip the rear wheel quickly depending on which I want. I usually keep it single speed.

it impacts the weight by not having all the gears, derailleurs, cables, controllers, etc.

certainly you can get lighter and have all the bells and whistles, that will cost ya though.

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

idolbucks · 08-09-2014, 12:49 AM

Klen · 08-09-2014, 01:16 AM

I more preffer old school bikes then new ones,but even then i want them to be fast.
I got an used bike with 3 speed which was fast as fuck and i could get 40 km per hour,but for some reason it broke and now i cant get it faster then 30 km and only if i push it hard.

it's funny how people think others have never ridden bicycles before.

no need for the bicycle lesson.
