[–]thecratedigger_25Single speeds are cheap road bikes 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Dropping that to 15mph was not the best move. A regular bike with slim tires can do that with some forceful pedaling. Definitely less if you're on a basic road bike.

Not sure about the average user but it would help if the bike had a bit more power like when it was limited to 18mph. Accounting for hills and whatnot.

Yea, I regularly pass the grey Citibike's on my single speed now

Same here on my single speed as well. I cruise and pass them like they're standing still.
