Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

In this forum the usage is that single speed refers to a bike with a freewheel or a converted freehub. Aristo and TT have it right. Otherwise, it would take to long to specify a single-speed that isn't fixed-gear.
