Hi,
Just recently had my bike stolen (Ok it was a crapy hybrid). But I'm now looking to move up in the world to enjoy the pleasures of riding road bikes...:D
Now my question to people out there is.... (probably not worth asking but here goes).. Does anyone have a bad word to say about single speed bikes???? I've searched high and low on the internet to find out if there is anything I need to know before spending upwards of £500 on a single speed... But everyone seems to treat them like the greatest invention since the wheel.
I remain slightly sceptical because although I heardly used my gears on my hybrid, it was nice to know that on days (not many, I admit) I wasn't feeling up to it, I could drop my cog grear down to a 6...
please someone out there advise me:eek:
