Singlespeeders - Who needs gears?

Grant Usher and Nic White are proving again that its not all about the bike (or is it?) as they ride the 9 day 900km Joberg2C race on their rigid singlespeeds. They are doing more than just riding like singlespeeders like to, dressed up and fooling around at the back. 

They are doing this all in the front of the race. Sitting comfortably in the top 10 overall they must be getting some serious stares from riders with seriously expensive bikes with more gears and suspension than they know what do do with. These two are no slouches having raced at the elite level so you would expect them to do well. 

It is quite amazing to see just what is possible on a very simple bike. They are doing a great job creating some publicity for the Singlespeed World Champs 2012 taking place in Winterton later this year.
