Hello,
Due to moving my commute is going to vastly increase (15miles) so I am looking at getting a single speed road bike (currently doing it on a Genesis io) Now I am liking the look of the Genesis flyer (2nd hand would be nice) what are other good alternatives? I am also going to have to carry work kit/sports kit/lunch etc so what's a good rucksack or seat bag for such things lol.
Cheers

    why only a fixed as part of your deliberations?

    That's cool, but I think if my commute was going to grow massively (Is yours going up by 15 miles or from something, to 15 miles? round-trip or just one way?) then I'd get a cheapish roadbike with gears and convert to singlespeed later. Your legs might thank you :)

    Commute is going to be 15 miles. After speaking to some other chaps it seems an audax is the bike for me. I have been looking at the surosa one as it seems great for the cash.
