New Bike
In an unrelated design note I picked up a new bike that other day. It’s a 54cm classic 1966 Schwinn Super Sport. I was looking for something that was a little faster then my old bike and since a single speed has less bike components they are usually lighter and faster. This one was going for $200 on craigslists and seemed like a perfect deal. Riding a single speed bike is a different thing all together, since there is no worry about when to shift gears you are free to enjoy the ride. The downside is you have to use a lot more energy when going up hills.

But the other good news is there’s no hills in Chicago!
I also want a bike, but never even considered single speeds. Way to open my options, thanks!

Yep the no hills and the price makes the single speed a nice choice.
