A surprising, to me, benefit of riding a single speed bicycle: not having to think about changing gears means I get lost in the moment more. I just *keep on pedalling*, to paraphrase Dora in Finding Nemo. 😀

I find the ride more relaxing even when I have to work harder to get up some of the hills in Crawley.

The single speed, which I bought for little money, from a charity shop, to reduce the stress I would suffer when leaving my more expensive bikes locked up in town, is turning into my bike of choice for more rides than I would have expected.

This makes me think I should try turning the rear wheel around and try going full fixie! But maybe not as I'd probably kill myself. 😄

Karma Wheels frame, fork, and stem #madeinliege with a mix of NOS @tangeseiki Ultimate Super Light and Prestige tubes for the front triangle, @dedacciai_official chainstays, and mainly #4130 for the rest. For the fork: laser-cut dropouts and ISO brake mount.

Custom bags by @c_pouki made from old #strichtarn tent fabric.

The wheels are built with vintage @sunringlewheels Dirty Flea and @hopetech Pro 2 hubs with @stansnotubes Crest rims, @sapim_official spokes, and @simworks X Hoshi raw brass nipples, with @maxxistires tires and @reservewheels valves

The rest of the build is a mix of salvaged parts: @ritcheylogic seatpost, @whiteind crankset, @3tbike handlebars, @selle_italia saddle; @shimanomtb brakes (new); @stridsland_journal chainring, @velocicycle pedals, @wolf_tooth_comp grips, @bluelug rear light

For all your wheel assembly projects, there's only one place to go: gilles(@)karmawheels(.)be

Question #velo 🚴

Avez-vous des références de vélo single speed / fixie en acier et surtout avec des points de fixation pour porte bagage ? 🤔

J'ai déjà trouvé ce modèle sur Santafixie :
santafixie.fr/velo-fixie-santa

mais j'aimerai d'autre ref pour comparer.
merci 🤗

I've been wanting a 29er steel #singlespeed for #cycling

2025-10-01

Fick erbjudande om förmånscykel. Funderar på #cykel med skivbroms. Inser sen att jag inte tänker cykla 13 km till jobbet om det är sånt väder att det är viktigt med skivbroms.

Blev dessutom helt förvirrad av alla olika växlar och vill helst ha #singlespeed

Projekt #Singlespeed: der Rahmen ist ein extra für Singlespeed gebauter der Marke Elops. Ich muss meine alten Felgen (Mavic Racing mit flachen Speichen) zwar noch reparieren und Abstandhalter anpassen, aber es wird ein geiles Bike.

The more I ride around Seattle without changing gears, the more a #singlespeed appeals to me. #cycling #seabikes #bicycle

Annie, the only female single speeder in the race explains her reasoning for going single speed with lost voice on the race podcast: "Because I listened to a podcast last November and it sounded pretty cool" 😅

From the podcast it sounds in general like many of the participants are "pretty cooked". Huge respect for them keeping going.

I would like to build a second #ebike with a Bafang BBS02B 750 W mid-drive motor kit. This time, I would choose a bicycle with mulitple gears, instead of a #singlespeed

My current 500 W rear hub motor singlespeed is barely enough to get me up the mild hills of my town, and I only get about 20 miles out of a fully-charged 504 Wh battery, because I use it mostly on the highest assist setting.

I want something like a Soma Buena Vista mixte. I wear mostly skirts and dresses.

@ascentale @cainmark @bikenite #BikeNite A2. The closest thing to that for me is that after 5 years of living in the same house, my boss was driving me home one day, and turned down a street I'd never ridden, before.

It turns out that street is the flattest route between my home and our downtown business district, so it is now my preferred route, to save my legs and my battery, because I ride a #singlespeed #ebike, usually filled with handbag, briefcase, and groceries.

Gerade nochmal den Sattel um 5mm nach oben verlegt, so langsam „paßt“ das Rad.

Das Bild zeigt eine moderne, matte Grau-Fixed-Gear-Bicycle, die an einer grauen Backsteinwand gelehnt steht. Die Fahrradrahmen ist schlicht und elegant gestaltet, mit dem Markennamen "bonvelo" deutlich sichtbar. Die Slick-Räder sind schmal. Die Fahrradkette ist sichtbar und verbindet die Pedale mit dem Zahnrad. Der Sattel ist schwarz und passt zur Gesamtkonstruktion.

Mein #klapprad
Ich mag das sehr. Name ist Programm: das vordere Schutzblech klappert.
Seit vielen Jahren in vielen Urlauben dabei hat mich das Rad schon viel begleitet. Irgendwie witzig, mir macht das total Spaß zu fahren.
Schnell ist anders. Aber ich verbinde das eben auch mit entspanntheit und Urlaub. Daher eher so 40min+ für 10km.
Vorderrad ist getauscht da Orginal kaputt ging. Längere Sattelstütze und andere Reifen - sonst an sich auslieferzustand.

New pedals day for the city bike - bit sad, because the old ones were with me for 12+ years, across various bikes, but finally broke down. But the new ones (OneUp Composites) are 💜purple💜!
