Just not getting the single speed thing, especially in winter. I might have to drop all the way down to climb a mushy hill. But then I hit a mile of bare pavement and don't want to be madly spinning at 7 mph. Why torture yourself by trying to manage all the possible conditions with one gear ratio? Why are "studded tires, fenders, sealed bearings, dynamo lights" ok but a derailleur is not cool?

Never mind. It's just me.
