The Single Speed Prophecy

I am not a single speed pontificator.
I do not preach the dogma of single speeding.
It works for me.
It may not be for you.
If you ask me about it, I will try to show you the way to single speed enlightenment.
I believe you should find a ratio that works for you.
I believe you should find a rigid frame and fork made of chrome moly that works for you.
I believe you should just ride, not worrying about what gear to be in or if your shocks are at their right settings for the trail conditions.
As the rigid single speed is always in the right gear, and the suspension is always predictable (sort of). Enabling the single speeder to lose himeself in the trail. With music in their mind (or Phil Ligget) providing fuel as they dance on the pedals (or mash if its a big climb), leading to the next turn in the trail or vista.
