So outside the DNA bar in SF I saw a Mod in a suit pull up to at 1am on a old school 10 speed. The thing that caught my eye was the sticker. ONE FUCKING SPEED. Sure enough it had one small gear on back.

Lets make something clear. I don’t like to workout. I hate to run, unless being chased. I never got much exercise beyond work and skateboarding. (I sit a t a desk now) I have always enjoyed cycling. Even when I was younger. I just had to stop when I moved to the country with all those small roads. I can only think of two reasons to take a good mountain bike with gears and make it non shifting. Bragging rights and building endurance. I can really get into the endurance part. I realy like the burn. Even being a heavy smoker I still feel 20 times better when I ride hard and often. Not to mention freaking the Sunday riders out with a One fucking Speed sticker. Somewhere I read less gears more beers. Makes sense. Guess I should check out the price to convert mine at the local shop up the rode.
