This is a great response. I’ve had phases where my only bike was a rigid single speed (typically XC-oriented) and it really inhibited my ability to keep up with friends either on steep climbs, long rides or gnarly descents - so I was a solo rider, nursing the limitations of my one-bike choices.
Now I’m still a one-bike wonder, but with gears and suspension - this make my range way wider and I can join friends or groups without reservation.
