>Why do you need all those gear ratios? Are you weak?

If I'm weak you should be able to keep up this 10% grade on your "fixed-gear" "bicycle right?

At what % grade does an upright start outperforming an average 12 kg recumbent?

Thinking that gear ratios and being weak has some sort of collaboration either affirms mental retardation or that the question is being asked in a humorous and friendly, kind of like sarcastic manner. In either case, the question can be completely dismissed with an equally retard remark or by just complete ignoring.

2/5 not mad.

this. You want to try riding a fixed-gear in seattle,

>>981998
so you're weak?

>>981986

I thought about this too, but the thing is, it has to be fixed or it's just not the same feeling.

since I spend all my derailer money on meth, this shouldn't be a problem

Gears are a neat invention that makes riding easier and more efficient.

Poor white trash from a flat area of the US.

Got a fixed gear because I always rode BMX bikes as a kid, and any geared bikes I had were Walmart-tier garbage that shifted like shit, clicked as you rode, and would randomly change gears on you. That soured me on multiple-speed bikes. I'm a redneck, not a hipster.
