[#2074446]

Went out for a local ride last night after one of my mates text me mid afternoon.

Local woodsy trails & single track, ridden on a steel single speed HT from an English/British company and ended the night with a couple of pints of locally brewed (in a micro brewery 2 miles from the pub) ale.

I fear I may be turning into a single speeder, only thing missing as far as I can see is the questionable facial hair, although I could do a ncie line in Wiggins style sidies ๐Ÿ˜†

So here's a picture of said bike, leaning against a pagoda at said pub

Went out again this morning, both riding buddies on geared HT's and despite having one in the bike shed, went for the SS again and spent 4 hours blatting round the forest ๐Ÿ˜†

I'm sorry but you can't enjoy yourself on a single speed. You are only doing it because you are fat and slow and like beer and it makes you feel all niche and special*

* according to the STW forum consensus amongst body armor wearing geared trail center warriors, so they must be right ๐Ÿ˜‰

Tazzy, I couldn't agree more ๐Ÿ˜†

Would it be better if I wore knee pads and ate only organic mung beans?

Vdubber you can't say things like that, you'll give us all a bad name.

Next someone will pop up saying that they actually enjoy riding with only 1 gear, silly wheel sizes or god forbid a stiff frontage and the reality as we know it will cease to function.

This is a FACT as I've read it in that temple of SS haters that is MBR, although one of them did a complete about face and ended up at SSEC10, he must have had a mid-life crisis or something

You explode in a mass of contradictions and spluttering

I rode the Monkey again today and was a bit bored by about halfway round, is the off piste you speak of more interesting?
