minus-squarecubism_pitta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down3·8 months agoI got a fixed gear bike last year and a trailer to pull my kids around in (when they want to go with me). I pretty much exclusively use that to get around and get groceries instead of my car now. Even in the rain, it’s just so much more fun to be on a bicycle than to drive.

I’ve been looking at single speed bikes, but I keep hearing “it’s too hard” and “you’ll never be able to carry weight with it!”. I’ll admit that I ride with a cargo trailer (groceries), and I do have to use gears or it would be impossible to climb some of the hills we get.
