okay, this single-speed thing is ridiculous

The ride to work is fast. The ride home, not so much. It's just enough of an uphill grade most of the way that my knees are totally thrashed by the end.

So ends my hipster era. The single-speed goes back to work where it will ferry me happily between buildings or to a local lunch.

:)

Ironically, having the single-speed on BART seemed to invite all sorts of people to pester me about what my gear ratio and crank lengths are, and since I don't know (and don't care), I feel all the better about going back to a bike with derailleurs.

Total Ride:

13 miles
100 ft. climb
