Single-speeds aka 'Fixies' are next to useless on the hills around the Portland urban center, so unless you are talking about downtown, most people here have a geared bike. Well except douche hipsters, I love passing them while they pant or walk their bikes up hills.

This summer I bought a Swobo 9-speed with an internal drive train, after my lovely Kona was stolen. You can get a cheaper 3-speed version of the same thing but the changes in gear ratios are jarring. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003RZTBTQ?ie=UT...">http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...
