I Just did a Single Speed Ride

OKAY. So, I'm writing this right after a good, hard ride on my Clockwork bike. I'm tired. I'm delirious, even. My arms are so tired that I'm thankful to not have to move them too much during the typing. Why are my arms tired when I was riding a bike (which takes legs, not arms)? Single Speeding does take arms. When you are humping it uphill, steeply, in only one gear, you've simply got to stand up as you pedal and pull with your arms as you ride.

But this overall exhaustion is a good feeling. I've worked out a bit harder than usual. I deserve today's wine.

Single Speeding is the most rewarding biking I've ever done. I converted more than two years ago and haven't looked back, even though I'm living in a valley!
