I've not ridden a Singlespeed of ages, not since the time at Manchester Track, so I'm going to take it easy and see how I get on 😯

Let hope I don't fall off 😳

Why would you fall off because it's a single speed? I commute on one. No different to riding a fully geared road bike besides the obvious, but it just means a little bit more grunt to take off and you have to power up hills.
