No no, that's ok. I loled at flywheel too.
Freewheel.
F-R-E-E-W-H-E-E-L.
Sorry, just making it stick. Haha
Ok, so, a fixed gear and single speed bike are not the same. Got'cha. So I can convert a road bike and keep the FREEwheel on it to coast?
Ok, got it.
And yes, TheBikeRollsOn, you're right, I HAVE seen single speed bikes as I HAVE seen Cruisers. I meant single speed road bikes.
Now, another newb question. I seem to remember (and again, I'm probably wrong) when I was younger having BMX and other dirt bikes that I could coast on, and yet could brake using the pedal. Could you do this on a single speed road bike that has the freewheel on it?
Is this possible? Or is my memory leaving me.
