here's an idea if you want to ride singlespeed without buying another bike...put it into 44-16 and don't change gear?
The only thing to remember when riding fixed is just keep pedalling, yes it really is that simple. As soon as you forget this, your legs will quickly realise what's going on!
This is a track frame so it will feel a bit 'tighter' - the back wheel is tucked right under your bum giving you better acceleration, the steering angle is steeper meaning it will be more responsive.
