More on single speeds

We have a story in Out There Friday on single speed mountain bikes. I wanted to include a few more photos from the day these locals beat me down on a super tough ride.

Is single speed mountain biking a weird cult? You decide, comment below.

I have an old stumpjumper hard tail that is in the works to becoming a 1x1 but I know at first I will be doing more pushing than riding. Yet I cannot wait to bring on the pain!; 10:14 AM

That's awesome. BTW, I saw a guy ride a 36" unicycle in the Buena Vista Bike Fest last weekend. You can bet he's in good shape. Guys (or gals) who ride hard like that absolutely rock.; 7:43 PM
