Let's Move to The Country
Above: Remnants of a weird-ass lost civilization.
Got out for an actual non-commute related road ride this past sunday on an actual non-single speed type bike...my new De Rosa "UD". Geared road, I say Road bikes are faster than non-geared road bikes. No one can argue that. They also don't beat down your "Bonchial Region" like riding a Zebra across the Serengeti bareback. Which a fixed gear ridden on New England roads does. It's a 900 gram frame but it's built up with borrowed parts and things I found lying around my basement. I used a washing machine belt instead of a chain, it's awesome. It weighs about 18Lbs. Oh, but that vintage medley of Ultegra 9 speed and Shimano 600 is so sweet. I'm a "9 Speeder".

A guy drove by in a BMW SUV and yelled "Hey Faggot, get some Record Ten Speed on that thing!".
