Riding builds more leg strength and forces you to use more muscle groups giving you a better overall workout. Second, you develop your climbing skills, becoming much more conscious of the terrain and your physical state and riding position/technique. No more flubbing up a climb because you unsuccessfully tried to change gears at the last minute. First, you are always in the right gear, whether you want to be or not.

Riding single speed definitely has its challenges, but it’s not nearly as difficult as one might think. Why would anyone elect to ride with only one gear on a totally rigid bike, ignoring decades of technical advancements in light weight suspension and gear componentry? I’d have to say it’s a combination of applied physics, one-with-nature zen philosophy, mechanical simplicity, and a bit of testosterone. the standard 26” wheels at places like and, but the basic idea is the bigger the wheel, the less displacement it experiences in rolling over uneven ground.
