IMHO, a singlespeed bike would suit most people wanting to travel relatively short distance (commuting, in-town transportation). You'd get the advantages of a straight chain line, teh ability to coast, and the safety of having brake(s) when needed.
BMWBaorder, is your bike a fixie ? I see you have one speed, and brakes, and I was wondering if it was singlespeed, or fixed.
