Who here rides a singlespeed?
In order to make the new Singlespeed forum a possiblity, we need to know how many people here actually ride singlespeed or are interested in buying / building one up. The more people who have, the better chance we'll create the forum.

Heres my vote right here. I own two. The two best decisions I ever made. That forum would be a great addition to an already great site.

My main commuter ride has only one gear, usually fixed but sometimes free when I'm lazy or going on a very long ride. More than 100 miles and I like to be able to coast once in while.
Mine singlespeed/fixie road bike is my favorite and most used bike of 6. It's also about 25 years old (at least the frame).

...Oh and how is the freeride forum going?
Oh and I don't ride a singlespeed. I really can't see why. I love gears in the back

Yo
I still say a sub DH. A sub SS maybe in the future. I am rarely wrong.
Another suggestion- a section for regional riding?
(trying to build up some brownie points here)
