Singlespeed/fixed gear slogans

MrSmith it's the same reason SS mtb'ing is seen as a bit odd.
it's just a bike with one gear not a license to cover your bike with silly 'one relly nice speed' stickers, beer cap stem caps, whiskey flask bottle cages etc

SS'ing started out as a bunch of mtb'ers who wanted to ride around without kitting up in lycra, without calorie counting, without the roadie-esque clique thing.
It grew. Then SS'ers started spending just as much on their machines as the 'serious' gearies they mocked in the first place. The originality was lost.

My road bike has http://www.ribble.co.uk on it. Huzzah!
