Everyone should ride a single speed...at least once

​While in Tennessee, my friend Rosa took me out for my first ride on a single speed. I learned a lot . It's one thing to know you should lay off the breaks to maintain your momentum and use your energy wisely but there's something about hopping on a single speed that really drives the point home. I exceeded my worst expectations on this ride and I can definitely see the appeal of having one of these around to train on. Too bad I don't have room for one more bike in the van. *sigh*
