Hey I-Like-To-Bike, I was just wondering: were you attacked by a pack of fixed gears and single speeds as a child? You seem to have an aversion to them. I don't care for derailed bikes all that much, not to say I won't own another one, but you don't see me out hatemongering the multi speed bikes. It seems to me like you have this thing where "Fixed gear and single speed is stupid" and "the whole world should ride ancient 3 speeds to prove how awesome I am". Maybe I take you wrong, but you seem to pop up in *every* thread about single speeds or fixed gears and proceed to tell everyone how backwards they are for not embracing your philosophy of 3 speed freedom. I have nothing against geared hubs, but don't bash peoples love for them just because I like fixed gears better.

This is not a personal attack. It just doesn't make sense to me. If you are so bent on staying away from single speed/fixed gear bikes, why do you pop up in *every* thread about them? Are you trying to "save" us from our errors?

Again this is not a personal attack. If I had money to burn, I'd have a coaster braked 3 speed at home just waiting for jaunts around the block and cruising rides and commutes. And I'd also have a rohloff 14 speed tourer and a single speed road bike, and the list goes on. I LOVE bikes. But just because I don't like a certain type of bike (derailed bikes) it doesn't keep me from coexisting peacefully with people who do like them. Why can you not coexist peacefully with those of the single speed/fixed gear persuasion?

Are you singuluphobic?
