No Gears, No Problem

In yesterday's post, I mentioned that I loaned out my geared Cross Check to a friend. Today as I pedaled my one gear all 11 miles into work, I kept thinking how much I love single speed. You can almost turn your brain off once you get onto the bike path. No cars traffic. No bike traffic. No gears to change. No reason to brake or turn. To me, it's meditation at it's finest.

Get out there.

  1. I think that is why I enjoy my fixed Quickbeam so much. If I can get over the longing for more speed, and simply enjoy the ride...for the sake of the ride, I can enter the no gears, no excuses, no problem zone of delightfulness.
