  • huh? why? the climbing in the vid is arduos (as is climbing with a geared bike). The flats and downhills are fast and intense. I love riding fixed 'with miles and miles of open road at your disposal'. so all you guys just ride in the city? never really though of the distinction... I ride my bike....

    I ride in the city and out of town BUT if I was touring for days/a week or more I would personally prefer to do it on gears, just seems odd to wanna have massive open roads and you get to the spinning point and know that you can't go any quicker, "Shit, wish I'd used gears now!", I've even done it myself...
    Wasn't meaning to have a pop at you/them, just don't see the point. Bit like driving a Ferrari in 2nd gear
