Single Speed Bicycles Gaining In Popularity
Until recently I did not know that single speed bicycles even existed. Multi speed road bikes and mountain bikes have become fairly sophisticated these days with so many having twenty five gears as minimum and many even more. That’s the problem.
Take a mountain bike for instance. When you are riding across rocky terrain , through bud and water and who knows what else the complex gear trains can take a real bashing. If it gives up miles from home you are in for a long walk.
Not so with a single speed mountain bike. Simple and easy to fix these machines are durable and reliable. They are also hard work on mountain tracks and hills. Which makes them ideal for anyone who likes a challenge.
If you can ride one of these up a steep hill without having a heart attack then you will be among the fittest of the two wheel cycle fraternity.
