    Are they good for a ride until your mates find out?

    When you are as fast as them on their geared bikes all you get is love and respect (ish)

    That's part of the fun of single speed, whizzing past someone on their geared bike can be very satisfying, and playing the "ok, go on by, I'm only riding single today" card to anyone faster.

    Just wait for a hill then. This does not work in the Fens obviously.
    It is particularly effective on a downhill stretch (which will suit you) as you glide past them pissing yourself laughing at their legs spinning like a washing machine. :lol::lol:
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    You seem to know my tactics quite well :D

    Also can anyone explain the point of single speeds? Why not just use your normal bike and not change gear while you're riding? :)

    Not many jumping in to put me right :)

    Because I'm shoot at maintenance and I like scalping people - best was a 20mph average speed on the way home from work - just flying through the traffic

    There was double meaning in there Blakey, I mean, why does he buy Muc-off in bulk?
    Like your 'wet lube' purchases?

    I'll have you know there are two cat 2* climbs on my communt to work. The 'Col de Denmark Hill' and 'Mont Crystal Palace' are not to be taken lightly :P

    * Cat 2 means I sometimes have to drop into the small ring to get up them.

    Muc-off for the brown and wet lube for the pink :wink:

    WTF has Hoxton got to do with fixies, someone enlighten me? Fixies are for hanging on the wall or buggering up your knees.

    The sort of people who live there are likely to ride fixies. Hoxton is right next to Shoreditch:

    matt h hardly fits the description.

    This is more like it:

    "Shropshire shrugger. Can be seen in any attire and can never pass a pub without going in to it. Always rides simple mechanical bicycles to avoid drink driving bans. Often seen lying in a ditch singing incomprehensibly.'
