I don't quite follow the "8 speeds is too few, I really want 11 so I'll just have 1" train of thought but then again I suppose I don't really have to. Imo one speed is enough for these kind of bikes, I sometimes borrow my dads bike to get groceries because it's big and has fat tyres and two racks. It's also got 8 speeds though which makes me want to ride it faster than I should. I'd probably swap out the fat tyres for some faster skinnier ones if I wanted a little more speed before I'd wory about gears. It's a cruiser, if you want to get somewhere fast you've got an other bike for that job right?
