A singlespeed is like catnip to middle aged white dudes (hexbear.net)

I built myself a cool one out of a retro 80s MTB frame and it does look quite snazzy if I do say so myself and every second stop a middle aged white dude either gives me the nod or straight up chats me up about it. This has never happened with my other bicycles, but it absolutely happened with my old singlespeed.

Dude use this opportunity to convert downtown rich kids and middle aged office warriors into the riding shitty singlespeeds, it'll radicalize them in 0 time
