So yeah I’m thinking I could save some money and just not shift. If I converted my bike to a single speed it would be the same as not shifting. Minus the bragging rights. Which I can do without. I rode today in the same gear and it was fine. One exception when I was rolling out at higher speeds I shift into a faster gear on the crank side. Its a 21 speed so I was switching between 13th gear and 20th? Either way It was pointless to not kick it up and gain speed since I was pushing the cranks harder in the faster gear anyways. All the benefits of pushing harder in a slower gear up hill still applied. I think I should just invest that money into so better handle bars. I have a bike thats a hybrid or sorts. Its a mountain bike / cruiser. The only thing that makes it more of a cruiser is the high gooseneck and bars.

Sidenote: Looking for parts I found out Schwinn sells scooters. Most of them are 49cc but they make 2 models that are 150cc both 4 stroke. Both around 2,000. Not a Vespa but half the price. This is winter planing. Driving a scooter in the winter might not sound like fun, but doing 35 mph in 25 degree weather is much better when it takes you half the time  it does to pedel it.
