As much as the fg is touted as being "not practical" for anything beyond relatively mild terrain and fast jaunts through traffic, I love its simplicity and efficiency in power transfer. The fixed gear bike is a beautiful machine. Add a freewheel AND dual cogs and you have a versatile beast that retains its direct connection to the road. Granted it may be overkill, but I like options. If you have strong arguments against, I welcome the discussion.
