As a kid i jad a single speed roadbike that i added 5 gears to. Later on in college i rode a few geared bikes. Recently got another single speed similar to my first one. I love both but get a geared bike if you plan on commuting

Too many hills around here, you need the variation provided by gears. However, my dirty little secret is a single speed geared to provide a challenging training ride on a five mile, three hill loop behind where I live. I’d noticed I climbed all the hills in the same gear, they are all of a similar enough steepness but different lengths with a few short rises to spice things up. It made sense to go single speed and as I’ve become stronger I’ve just upped the gearing slightly. The extra bike is an indulgence but brings the fun into the hill training.

If you can get your leg over the bar put your bike on the ground and step over and lift it up between your legs 😊 .so easy it's stupid

Standing up on a bike is for little girls.

I do ride my singlespeed with low handlebars. But I am a sprinter type guy who loves short dashes in the city. I rarely cycle more than 20 min at a time. For medium distances (10 miles) I like to cycle hands free and upright. Works for me.

So which cycle can be good, mtb or hybrid?

this video help riders like me who think seriously about health and long distance riding

Great vid. Dumb question: Can any bike frame be turned into a single-speed bike?

Good. Right.

All excellent points! Would only add that cyclists shouldn’t ride too far/too long. Twenty to 30 minutes one way is plenty for the average city cyclist.

Great video and info!

I don't have a single speed, but I respect those who go for it.

Proper activation of the glutes takes some of the weight off the hands. Do some strength training besides cycling. Core, glutes, hamstrings, flexibility.

I was wondering if I just had a bad single speed or if I just hadn’t biked in a while, but now I know!

Age-related pinched neck nerve. Now I ride upright. Keeps my fingers from going numb.

I was thinking about going for a belt drive with hub gears but I think I will just stick with deraileurs. Maybe get those electronic ones.

I ride a road bike with which I rarely change gears. Essentially i’m on one of the higher gears until I hit a hill. Which where i’m at is infrequently

This is one of the most thoughtful comment threads I've ever encountered. No arguement and nobody mentioned Hitler. Renews my faith in humanity and I'm going to change some things on my bike👍👍👍 thanks to everyone for the information ❤

People dealing with saddle sores change your hand position frequently lean over the bars just shift your center of mass away from the saddle it will help ease blood flow in your butt avoiding sores also get off your saddle frequently on downhill or in flats for few seconds will make alot difference

I just bought a used Specialized roll. Nice bike. Im 73 years old and out of shape. I got the bike to get back into shape. I rode it tonight for the first time. I need training wheels! 😂

Me over here spending hours thinking about whether to use a 17T or 16T freewheel.

this is an insanely good video .,Why? because it is concise and lucid with excellent visual examples which is in direct contrast to 90% of all videos on YT. 😂 👍👍👍👏 Seriously , a terrific video !

All good advice here. I bought the wrong size and style of bike years ago because of a deal. It's never been comfy until recently when I bought a steerer tube extension, adjustable stem, riser handlebars and a new wider saddle. Realistically I should have bought a dutch bike in the first place!

It's impossible to sit upright on a mountain bike. Now, if you're like me and take the train and your bike to work, you might have come to the same conclusion as I did: In fall and winter, a mountain bike does much better when it's up against fallen leaves and snow and ice than a trekking bike (sorry city bikes, you don't qualify for commuting purposes). What really matters is: Get a bike in the RIGHT SIZE. Adjust the saddle height properly so it's a ergonomically as possible.

I loved to see the warnings that radical changes of posture can lead to problems. I tested this once on my urban bike that was made to have an "agressive" posture. I changed it in an almost fully upright position. I exprienced once the effect of a very small obstacles on the front road. It induced a very rapid lateral move of the front road. I decided to abandon the modifications I made.

How to get comfortable riding like a pro cyclist... go to the gym and do some dead lifts.

More and more concerning bicycles I get convinced that older for the tech, and simpler is better. The road bike I bought new last year is a State brand, with eight in the rear, just one front ring, and has friction shifters and pad brakes. Once I got it into tune, it's been brilliant. Seems like there's less that can go wrong, less to worry about, and most of it (When I got reacquainted with the 1970s type components again.) is easier to deal with. Of course regular notched shifting can be almost trouble free too. The e-bike has been bulletproof for the 800 or so miles on it, and the Marin hybrid I've had for seven years has required very little for adjusting for brakes or gears. I don't think I'll be an easy sell for such a radical change with these internal hub types, especially with more weight of this to the bike mechanics out there.

It's all about the terrain. I live in a city where flat road is actually quite rare and no two areas have the same terrain either. A geared bike is perfectly suited for my needs as I can adjust and adapt accordingly during my bike trip. If I lived in an area with more flat or consistent terrain, a fixed Gear would be more optimal.

Good summary, graphics etc. Thanks! You forgot something important: a gear hub is like a single speed: you need a special frame that allows for tensioning the chain by sliding the rear wheel back and forth. If you don’t have such a frame, you need to add a chain tensioner, which kind of looks like the bottom part of a derailleur: added complexity, point of failure, and drag. If you break your chain and need to remove a link, it will likely not work any more. Removing the rear wheel to repair a flat is a big headache. Beyond what you want to do out on a trail.. I say that from experience with a Nexus 7.

No. They breakdown too often.

I swapped out to ape hangers on 2 bikes and bmx bars on another. Had to redo brake lines but now I have 3 awesome bikes! Plus one ebike, which sucks, too many things that can go wrong and changing bar on it would involve messing with hydraulic brakes, shifter cables and computer wires. Should have spent the money in really good simple single speed commuter bike

Some things were already mentioned here, but some extra points. For our everyday bikes (we do everything by bicycle) we try to go for hubs as much as possible for all the reasons you mention and more. Good example is kids bikes. They can be rough with their bicycle and because of the smaller wheels, derailers are more exposed and prone to being hit. Similar in thight bycicle parks, having a derailer basically puts your chain out there to catch behind pedals and other things sticking out of other bikes. Another thing is some speciality bikes. We have a folding bicycle and a recumbent. Both vastly superior with hub gear. Folding similar to the previous points, exposed for shunts and messy esp with small wheels. Recumbent often have long chains which puts extra strain on the derailer spring.

From what I've seen, they are high maintenance and break down a lot. No. Not worth their price.

Attending to momentum is a feature, not a bug. You don't have adjustable gearing to response to the riding demands. What you have to work with is your body position, momentum, pedaling effort, and attitude.

Good advice for keeping the back from getting stiff and sore. As someone with above average city riding experience in New York, it actually feels easier to maintain more upright easier postures on nature trails. Reason: City driving requires a defensive alertness that means being ready for aggressive driving at any given moment to avoid disaster. This applies to pedal bikes and also e-bikes. I'm a class 3 fat tire e-bike operator today and I use this bike for all of my transportation needs. The defensive alertness applies even more with the e-bikes. I'd love to relax and enjoy my rides, unfortunately there's a lot of angry drivers who don't like bikes in the road and they make it very difficult for bicycle riders who most oftentimes would rather be in a comfy vehicle instead of getting screamed at by someone in a comfy vehicle who doesn't even know the road laws pertaining to e-bikes. Be careful out there operating any type of vehicle on the roads, and if you're in a car annoyed to see someone on a bike, remember you're in a more privileged position in your car and you never know if you could find yourself out there on a bike or walking one day. For any triggered motor vehicle drivers thinking there should be better bike lane infrastructure and maybe even age laws on certain classes of e-bikes, I feel your pain and I agree, but that doesn't mean you have to take your frustration out one someone while moving 30 mph on the road raging, because that behavior makes everyone unsafe. I can't even count how many times I've been screamed at in 30 mile per hour zones to go on the sidewalk when the law states that the class e-bike I am operating must be on the road for these speed zones.

Upright and relaxed aka Dutch Style.

stem extenders are a back saver ,then I get a big bum seat and put the seat to the right height

Derailleurs are simply a pain in the ass for daily use. One can talk a lot about complicated maintenance on an internal hub, but for the daily ride to work you can use them for years without encountering problems. Than you just buy a new rear wheel with a new hub.

Get some 9" rise handlebars

Perfect.

I do bike deliveries and a single speed is incredibly cheap to maintain and won't break easily.
