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)

Part of Fogel's success is his familiarity with a structurally sound bike. ISTR he rejected one outright.
I think lots of folks forget that to a great extent, a bike is a bike. Functional bicycles aren't rocket science, after all.
