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 think the way he's riding it is JA. Though maybe he wants to waste all his energy flicking his bike back forth instead of actually moving forward. (pet peeve, sorry)

He specifically mentions "skidding for days". Maybe if he put less time into this ridiculous going and learned to ride he'd have saved money

A hub that shift's gears when it wants to, and I can't control it? No thanks.

Yeah, that's like my Honda CRV controlling when it wants to turn on the AWD. No thanks.

"What if it starts out with this bike that's totally not reasonable? It doesn't make sense, it's not rational."

You got that right... especially for $4k.
