Matt, because people do not look at the road 100% of the time while driving. A driver can easily rear end a biker or while trying to pass a biker the driver can easily nick the poor kid on a bike. I’ve had a few near accidents like this.

I am confused. Why would narrow lanes be bad for cycling? bikes are skinny.

(This is an old message, but I found it when I was google searching my own bike. Ha ha ha…)

I just bought a 58cm Affinity to ride in Los Angeles. This town is actually amazing for biking, even if you have to be extra careful, ALL THE TIME.

As for the Affinity – it is an amazing, and thus far (only 30 miles in) very rewarding machine.

Please note, this is not a bike optimized for “single speed,” as in single speed w/ freewheel. It is not drilled for a back brake. So if you are comfortable only having stopping control over one non-drive wheel, go for it. But my recommendation would be to set it up as a fixed gear bicycle.

Thanks for listening to my two cents.

Yeah, the riding angle seems really uncomfortable. Interesting, in a Huffy Sigma kinda way. Or what’s that other bike Huffy had, the red and white one? Not nice.

Too much of a gradient for me, but it’s beautiful nonetheless. This article is a good starting point for more insight into single-speed geekness! http://www.rouleur.cc/1_a-fixed-idea.html
