Ok, I get this. I ride single speed a fair bit to work, gives the knees a break every now and again. Upgraded one bike to a kickshift two-speed hub - still looks as clean as a single speed but gives you a bit more top end. And no clips or cages on the pedals means I can ride in shoes. Ideal for meetings.
Clearly I'm old before my time.
