cosmonaut Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 They're fun, that's all. Ride your bike either way, it's good for you and it's an exciting way to relate to your environment rather than just plowing through it. This. Get what kind of bike you think you think would work the best for your circumstances, and forget any image associated with it. It's a transportation/recreation device, not a lifestyle accessory.

mcm1610 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I dunno man, I thought it was a mandatory lifestyle accessory for being a hipster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Did anyone read my OP? I don't give a shit about the image. I just need a light bike thats relatively cheap. It sounds like the control and features I'm looking for is a single, thanks KW! What the hell is a free wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With fixed gears, the sprocket is 'fixed' to the hub so you can't coast. Flip-flop hubs have a fixed gear on one side and a freewheel on the other side so you can flip the wheel and try out both approaches. That might be a good way to go.

lokithelion Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 I like coasting. Sweet. Now to look for a cheapish single gear. TO CRAIGS LIST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
