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 never had these problems with the app, but then again, I never look at my phone until after my ride. I just power down the screen.

The fact that people are trolling others who would care so much about something so dumb makes my happy.

I do the same thing. By GPS lock, I mean that it would never register the lock on. I would start the app, go ride, look at the phone after, and it would register that I went 0.0 miles. The whole time I am riding, the GPS was searching and searching for me and never connected. Deleted that and installed Strava and it works perfectly fine and the battery takes a minimal hit.

it's super lightweight. that stand is actually holding the bike down rather than keeping it from falling over

Yes, the dropouts are the main thing wrong with that bike.
