Single speed bikes were basically the first bikes ever invented and for many of us the first bike that we owned was a single speed. Then came 3 gears and then more and more and more speeds, and just last year Shimano came out with a 3 x 10, so that makes 30 gears in total. So what do you get for that you may ask, 30 times faster? 30 times easier? 30 times more opportunities for failure or 30 times more expensive? If you ask a single speeder he will say the last two reasons definitely, and I don't think he would be too far off the mark.
