At the advice of fellow riders at the Bike Site, I chose to test ride the new singlespeed at Schaeffer Farm. Rode the white trail 2x and no problems although my legs felt a bit tired that evening. All and all― sweet!
"Riding a singlespeed can help bring back the unfettered joy you experienced riding your bike as a child. You don't realize how much mental energy you devote to shifting until you relinquish your derailers, and discover that a whole corner of your brain that was formerly wondering when to shift is now free to enjoy your surroundings and sensations."
―Sheldon "One is All You Need" Brown
Hmm, will a fixie be next in my future?
