Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.

Whaaat.

I'm not necessarily challenging your opinion because aparently you're going to die on this hill, but ...

This is not a tiny hill.

But most people would say that single speed has none of the disadvantages of fixed.

As an aside, I have 3 bikes. I've never ridden a fixie but holy fuck I would love to have one.

I live in a pretty mountainous area, but I can think of a couple blind corners on small hills near me. So probably the one on the way to the bakery while running or biking.

But I do a lot of ski touring so I'd rather die on one of the big ones.

The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.

As an American, this disagrees with my worldview. But I also don't know enough about the British version to say your wrong ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I never watched the British one, and I don't care for the American one, too cringey. Makes me sympathetic cringe.

The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an.....

I had and endless argument with some someone about this a while ago here's how it works (in my opinion) wetness is not a fundamental property of water instead wetness is having water on or inside something so a towel is wet when it has water in it. But a singular water particle by itself is not wet because it is not surrounded by water but most water is wet because they are all surrounded by other water particles.

Pedestrians have the right of way. Most of the other hills are survivable.

Where I live, it's the law that on crosswalks you have to stop to let them cross, doesn't matter how fast you're going.

Cloud-based. If a product won't work if my internet dies, or I can't access my data without internet or a subscription, I won't buy it.

Probably a slightly higher stair in a staircase one day
