For a start. Ride what you like and ignore what the mamil's say. Do you really want to listen to a man that shaves his legs, that takes the padding off his seat and stitches it into his pants?!
I ride a single speed bike around london all the time. It has a comfy seat and bars. Front brake and coaster brake which I built into the back wheel. It's super light and quick. It also freewheels.
It's so light I can ride from one side of london to the other (often 4-6miles) no sweat.
The only reason I use a single speed is so i can lock it up in central london and not worry about bits being nicked. I fitted the front brake at the beginning of the year after that guy got prosecuted.
I'll post some snaps later.
