#singlespeedbicycle — Public Fediverse posts

A surprising, to me, benefit of riding a single speed bicycle: not having to think about changing gears means I get lost in the moment more. I just *keep on pedalling*, to paraphrase Dora in Finding Nemo. 😀

I find the ride more relaxing even when I have to work harder to get up some of the hills in Crawley.

The single speed, which I bought for little money, from a charity shop, to reduce the stress I would suffer when leaving my more expensive bikes locked up in town, is turning into my bike of choice for more rides than I would have expected.

This makes me think I should try turning the rear wheel around and try going full fixie! But maybe not as I'd probably kill myself. 😄

# Preparing for winter

My goto bike for going to the shops etc., where I need to lock the bike up while I'm elsewhere, is this single speed bike. I bought it from a charity shop. It's hopefully not very attractive to would-be thieves but, even if stolen, I won't have lost too much money.

I'm preparing for winter by adding mud guards and lights.
