With luddite braking system
and bikini top tan line
fair point, so the orang is in fact already a gazillion times for skilled and gnarcore radsik than all the gearie riders on silly track. See even SS riding great apes, are just cool and froody dudes 😀
face it dangler boys, you'll always be nerdy ones with the clarkes anti scuff shoes and a jumper that smells of dog poo
Angry? Who's ****ing angry?

Yup !, SS riders are angry, aren't they ^^.
😆
yep I'll angrily chat to anyone and even force them to enjoy a nice single malt or a cheeky rum from my hip* flask.
*it wears it's sisters jeans and rides a fixie
*t'was a joke 8)
That's pretty good )How do you know when someone is a singlespeeder?They just spent 15 minutes telling you about it.
sure enough, at some point, they drop another gear, and you spin past 'em.
I never realised how much shifting makes a gearie stall until I tried to follow one. (I gave up and pushed past).
How do you know when someone has gears? They spend 15 mins telling you what they've had to replace or why their gears are skipping.
I ride singlespeed most of the time but I also have bikes with gears. You should hear the arguments I have with myself

I'd rather have my gears replaced than my knees.
Ok I'll read the thread
I don't think I've ever met a true single speeder. The one gear bike riders ive met seem to spend a lot of time changing gears between rides rather than during them. What a waste of time!
Know many ss riders hugor? I know hundreds and we all stay with one ratio and just get on with it. 🙂

I always feel like the gears are partly terrain and partly legs, different hills and even hoofed-up bridleway demand physical responses from my legs. Makes me feel very connected and yes quite zen.
Went out with gears the other night and kept on fixating on the trivial things, noises, wrong gear selection etc. Zen was the last thing on my mind.
All I know is the first bikes to the pub at the end of our night rides are usually the Singlespeeders oh and to the top of most of the climbs.. come to think of it we spank the geared bikes on most of the routes we do... It makes me soooo cross!!!

click, pop, ouch, click pop, crackle....
The sound of a multi-geared bike, or the sound of a single-speeder's knees?
I'm looking forward to all the anger @ SSUKG in a couple of weekends time. 😀
I'm bloody furious and will see you there to sort it out.

sound of a single speed rider firing a cap gun too close to his beard.
singlespeeding is early training for wheeling our wheelchairs
My experience of ss riders.
Angry, no.
Smug, ohhhhhh yes!
Single speed is just a choice I make on the day. Riding with the sprogs, wet muddy ride, nipping out with someone less fit, towpath ride etc... pull the rigid single speed out and enjoy it. Tough, longer steeper rides get a geared bike out.
