So i picked up my first single speed bike for $50 and all i have to say is wow. this is nothing compared to a multi-speed bike. i have never owned a road bike and this is my first one. All i have to say is its hard to pedal when you start, but when you get moving, you can really feel the breeze. i think this is a love/hate relationship. well see how i manage on my next few rides. i will post some pics later.
