I am very interested in getting a single speed bike for my daily commute. But I have never ridden one and do not have any mates with a SS bike. I currently ride a hybrid with a 27-gear Shimano Tiagra - is there a gear amongst all those that I could use that would approximate to that of a SS? I need to get a sense of whether my 10-mile each way journey into town from N12 is doable on a SS, especially the return leg, which is uphill. If there is some one up in N3 or N12 that wouldn't mind showing off their bike to me and giving me a chance to ride it I'd be grateful
Cheers
