But that's the problem, rushing in to buy a fixed gear/single speed bike, there are hundreds of bikes available for less than the cost of a unipack that will get you out and active.
i have loads of good friends riding about on £20-£40 old geared racer of hybrid bikes that love their rides, they don't feel the need to get a multicloured fad because they don't think they are strong enough to ride a single speed or fixed gear and secondly they don't know enough about them to either build them or justify the spend (in excess of £150)
fools rush in, as Elvis said, he got it right and had a voice that could bring a fine wine to room temperature with one note.
