Though not even idea of single speeds will never ever catch on in mainstream cycling, Single Speeds too can be an attachment. It is easy for single speeding to become a part of how you identify as a cyclist. That idea can place limits of you. limits and scarcity can be rewarding, or they can simply be scarcity and limits.
Humans have a surprisingly short memory. we are just coming out the far side of a massive parts shortage where keeping your bike running took a small amount of creativity and the ability to fix your own bike. we are not even full out of the woods, and instead of rectifying or planning for the obvious flaws in the global supply chain, we are focusing on creating more widgety widgets.
All that being said, I really should put the 1x1 dressing back on my commuter/gravel bike. if for no other reason than it will motivate me to fix the broken spoke on my geared wheel.
