If so, please share.
Thanks
At around 50, for a couple years my sole bike was a ss rigid 29'r mountain bike. Despite the fact I live where it's very hilly and steep (SoCal mountains), I loved the zen-like simplicity of having just that. I learned really good offroad bike handling skills with it as well. 61 now and I have both a geared and a ss gravel bike, and ride the ss around 50% of the time. I like the different workouts I get with them, especially offroad.
