| Re: Is it insane to attempt a 100 mile charity ride on a Single Speed Mountain Bike? 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?
