Yes I saved my old bike.
You only have one gear, why? The simlicity thing is generally about the pursuit of other stuff. EG I can focus on the simplicity that is so calming. Haha.
One fixed gear IS simple.
I don't know why you left off the other brake. I think it is this simplicity thing again.
Only one brake because it's fixed. I stop the forward motion with my legs, supplemented with the front brake.
Your bike is heavy because it is old and made of heavy metal. Which has been great for music but not so much for bikes.
Yep it's 45 year-old steel. Not really into the head-banging stuff.
I know you care what others think, we all do.
