To: "The Think Tank" thethinktank@bikecollectives.org Date: Thursday, September 10, 2009, 12:06 PM there's defintely a romanticism of riding with fixed cogs. It is a more mechanically simpler design and therefore, conjures up the connotations of 'purity' that is really fashionable.

This reminds me to ask something I've been wondering for awhile: why is riding with a fixed cog relatively fashionable, compared to riding with
a. a one-speed coaster brake hub, or
b. an internally-geared rear hub?

Enjoy.
