Is Arkansas flat Dapper?

Don't think so

Riding a fixie/single speed would be a little hard on the knees would it not?


Yes, it would. That is why I would not recommend this bike for someone who wants it for exercise/for Medusa (no offense Diavolo).

These bikes are most often used around beach towns, college towns, etc. Short distances, flat areas. Used for fun. Many around here grew up with a single speed, pedal brake. I don't have kids so I don't know if this is still the norm, or if kids always have handlebar brakes now.





I've only ever ridden a single freewheel, with brakes, rather than a fixie.

define fixie?

Have a great one! I have to get ready for work!
