The long, grey winter is a little brighter for me now that I'm on my new test rig, the neon green Scott SUB 10 Solution. SUB stands for "Speed Utility Bike" and the 10 Solution is one of seven SUB siblings (say that 10 times) all designed for commuting, trips to the store, and speed.

Fixed-gear singlespeed bikes are everywhere these days; on city streets and college campuses, on TV, in magazines and catalogs, and especially in the halls of the Sands Convention Center at Interbike. While some purists scoff at the "fakengers" or "posengers" riding "hipster sleds," the fact is that they're popular for a reason. They are a mix of style and function. Sure, often times style outweighs function and crosses the line of ridiculousness.
