Single Speed Commute

Posted by Brad Hefta-Gaub under: Cycle; commute; single-speed.

I’ve officially decided that riding my single speed in free-wheel setup is BORING! I had it set up this way this weekend so that I could pull my kids on the half bike and not kill my legs… Well, when you’re riding with a group of inexperienced (slowish) riders, that’s fine… but when I want to ride my bike, I need speed, and I need resistance… and this ridiculously small gear is just LAME.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a wrench with me to flip the hub!

Note: This is Tyler’s wheel… and it is a wimpy little gear… that only a boy-man like him could enjoy. :)
