New Single-Speed Set-up

There are a couple of reasons why a person might want to ride a single-speed or fixed gear bike. They are a lot simpler, with no gears, shifters or derailleurs to worry about. They do much better in bad weather because all you have to be concerned about is keeping the chain clean. Plus, the bike is lighter without the extra parts. Finally, riding a single speed or fixie really develops your pedaling ability when you've got no gears to rely on.
