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)

me. not a pain in the ass. reach down, tap the button (requires only as much coordination as getting your foot in a clip in the first place, which took me weeks to get smooth when i first started), and you're out. when you mount, reach down, tug the strap, and you're in. well worth it for the snugness.
