@egis27 man i pity you, can't even be yourself and enjoy a comfortable singlespeed cruiser, and definitely don't have the balls for BMX.

Cheers. This was driving me mad!

Thank you. I just broke the chain on my grand new, first-in-my-lifetime bike with external gears, and now I know why

I like to deride 'fixies' but I've heard the opinion that fixies are better for fitness because the rider does not get a chance to coast and the rider also feels more connected to the machine.

@rustypirat3 singlespeeds and fixies are for trendy hipsters who just want to look like people in urban outfitters catalogs

Well this is informative. I wasn't aware that certain gear combinations aren't supposed to be used...

In other words, manufacturers try to impress people with all these gears.

Thanks--great video!!
