The Ten Laws of Single Speeding
Ten tongue-in-cheek laws for anyone who has ever ridden one gear and called it enough.
-
Single speeding is actually three speeds: pedal, coast, and push.
-
There is no wrong gear ratio until the trail points uphill.
-
If someone asks why you only have one gear, the correct answer is: "It was enough last time."
-
Walking is not failure. It is an alternate drivetrain mode.
-
Every hill eventually becomes a descent, unless you chose the route.
-
Costumes make you faster. Beer handups make you braver. Neither claim requires evidence.
-
A quiet bike is suspicious. A noisy bike has stories. A broken chain means the story has started.
-
The rider with the smallest cog talks the most before the climb.
-
A bad idea completed on one gear becomes a tradition.
-
One gear is enough. The rider may not be.
