Using a single speed bike (no gears) is an amazing way to travel. If you cycle a geared bike, from time to time something will go wrong and you will have to buy new bits or get it repaired, Due to less moving parts, your bike will be maintenance free, meaning no expensive visits to the bike shop! Less Co2 emissions from component manufacturers and less landfill from old bike bits! Fly past your geared counterparts on your green ultra efficient singlespeed!!
