A bad storm rolled through yesterday, and the trail system has a lot of downed trees blocking the paths. So, I'll ride tomorrow, but for today, I figured I'd take the single speed through my hilly town to pick up some stuff at the store. It gave me a chance to use the Avalanche backpack I bought last year at a Dick's outlet store. My single speed doesn't have a rack, you see. The trip was successful, and I found out that I can get a 12 pack of Pepsi Zero Sugar, a half gallon of skim milk, a quart of 2% milk, two half pints of buttermilk, and a few tomatoes in the pack with no problems. It was heavy, though, so if I do this again, I think I'll go when my shopping list doesn't consist totally of liquids.

I think a single speed might be an option for this kind of commute or just for enjoying a chill ride with some like-minded folks. It really depends on the hills you'll be dealing with. I find that I can handle hills with my single speed's gear ratio that I'd never try on my road bike with a similar gear ratio, as long as they're fairly short. I really like my single speed. As for single speeds being a fad, that's basically saying bicycles are a fad.
