Correction - not always. "For that matter a single speed does away with shifters altogether!" I have two fix gears with double sided hubs and flip the wheel frequently. Just like racers did 110 years ago/ Four, five (or a lot more) on the floor - down tube shifting. Stick shifting - using that hub wrench. Brifters - three to thirteen in the tree.
