Hello,

I am curious as why anyone would consider or enjoy a single speed bike. I know, having a single speed has many advantages over geared bikes, but how do you cope with hilly terrains? Or is it that most of you live in flat areas?

I have a 7 speed utility bike, which sometimes makes me wish the bike had more lower gears to cope with some of the hills. I live in Maryland, which is relatively hilly, but not really as bad as many other hilly areas (eg PA).

Anyhoo...are you all expert bikers? Strong legs? Or what is it you enjoy so much about single speed bikes?

Please share your opinion.

Thank you
