Girls

is this a set up?

Glad there are some girls on this forum site. Hello to you all!

I want to upgrade my commuter bike to something much lighter, faster and more fun, and think single-speed looks cool.

But:
not sure about all the technical boy-stuff that goes on around it?
does it make you have massive tyranosuarus thighs?
getting away fornm the lights at speed?
going up hills like pentonville road?

I have a lurking suspicion that singlespeed and fixed speed is a fashion thing and a boy thing.

But - I would like to be proved wrong as I liked the feel of a single speed when I tried one last week. I would have ridden off into the sunset, but I had to go home to cook the tea and do the ironing.

The girl-perspective on single-speed would be really useful to me...
