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)

+1 on my fixed commuter with one brake, though I haven't made the switch on the multi-speed bikes, partly because there's less need for signaling out on the open road or trails.
