Apparently singles have more fun. They certainly do here...

The single speed, or “fixie”, has been the bike of choice on the streets of London for some time. It was once the serious cyclists’ back to basics love of the form that drove people to ride them. Then it became a fashion statement (you usually saw them ridden around Shoreditch by skinny blokes in pointy shoes and pork pie hats).

But this was no passing fad. A single speed bike is low maintenance, lightweight and a joy to ride, so they’ve become even more popular with commuters falling in love with the fixie too.

For the aficionado, it’s the myriad combinations of frame, forks and components that will really make your bike your own, and one of the best places to try out options is www.foffabikes.com .

Foffa will build a bike to any specification and their online mixer allows you to try different combinations. They also do a roaring trade in refurbished vintage rides too.

For a ride that is truly your own, this is a good place to start.
