Kind of a stupid question. If you live in a flat area, like TX, OH, FL or
something who cares if you have gears? If you live in an area that is very
hilly, then it would be harder. With the right single speed you can do most
anything, it just takes longer than if you had a multi. I think people ride
singles to impress other people mostly IMHO. I could care less. I am into
speed and hills, so singles are a waste of time for someone that wants to go
fast. All I can say is.... care to race around western PA?
