Riding a singlespeed can help bring back the unfettered joy you experienced riding your bike as a child.

In this case, you may be a candidate for a singlespeed bike. Instead, you may care more about the actual experience of riding your bike. If you're riding for sheer pleasure, or for exercise, you don't necessarily place that high a premium on output results, as measured in speed, distance or vertical climb. If you want to get the maximum possible speed/distance for the minimum effort (and there's nothing wrong with that!) you need a multi-speed bike.but, efficiency isn't everything!


Modern multi-speed bikes are marvels of technology, and allow a cyclist to select the gear ratio that will make the most efficient use of his/her energy.
