Hello, Single Speeders.

I'm usually over in the Recumbent Threads discussing my hi-tech, cadence computered, GPS guided, 18 gear, worry about every possible decision complication of a bicycle.

Anyway, last week I was traveling, wanted to ride, so I jumped on the only thing around, a beat up single speed beach cruiser.
Had to pedal backwards a full revolution or so before the coaster brake started to engage, and then forward a rev to get the wheels turning again. Quite possibly the simplest hunk of junk I have ever ridden.

For some unexplainable reason, that was one of the most relaxing, enjoyable rides in recent memory.
