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)

I mash at low cadence and spin at high cadence.

Always have; always will.

A bit of both but I do put on a bigger gear for group rides with geared bikes as I am more likely to get dropped from being spun out on the faster sections.

Bikes: 3 Rollfasts, 3 Schwinns, a Shelby and a Higgins Flightliner in a pear tree!

Almost sounds like an alcohol question for Foo!

Mash and grind that chain to oblivion! Since most of my riding is for sanity's sake, I do enjoy a good stress relieving grind--my gearing is set a bit higher than most for this reason.
