| There is somewhat of a trend around fixies and people claiming that single-speed or fixed-speed bikes are better, but apart from the fact that they don't freeze or break, I completely disagree.Gears allow you to use your bike in a much more efficient way. They are essential in my opinion. |

| They can be. If you live somewhere where it's flat, it doesn't matter. But if you live somewhere where there are hills, switching to a higher gear makes it easier to peddle uphill. But of course, you won't be going that fast in a higher gear. |

| If you llive somewhere flat it most certainly does matter. I and most everyone else use mutiple gears on flat terrain. Simple common sense. Multi gear bikes are better. |

| "better" is always a matter of context and preference.But a bicycle with multiple gears, even if it's just a two-speed kickback brake shift, is definitely adaptable to more situations. |

| When you hit that hill, or when starting out on a hill, you'll appreciate gears.And if you're older, not extremely fit and want to save your knees from injury, you'll like those gears even more.But for those who can deal with the limitations, a singlespeed can be a beautifully simple, easily-maintained machine. |
