This is my singlespeed steed. I got it last year and so far it has only been out to Crabtree Park. I have gained confidence on the easier trails that Crabtree has to offer so, now is the time to take it to Beaver Dam and Harris Lake for some more challenging terrain. The nice thing about this singlespeed 29er is the ease of use. No gears to change which frees me up to concentrate on the terrain and line I take while biking. The 29 inch tires also have an easier angle of attack when rolling over roots, rocks and logs. That means less chance of going over the handlebars. That means less scars and bruises for Steve. Now that is something I can get used to.Thursday, April 8, 2010

There were times when going over the handlebars would have been good, but I was locked into the pedals. I have had some horrible bike wrecks -
