Singlespeed Commuter Bikes for 2009

SE draft
A lot of my friends that are new to commuting keep asking me, “What bike should I get?” For the most part, I tell them to get what they like best, but I often steer prospective city cyclists in the direction of a singlespeed road bike. I thought it might be good to list a few of them here, along with their price and a link to their respective website.

Keep in mind, the best way to choose a bike is by test riding them yourself. This post is just meant to be informative, not a recommendation or a review—there are plenty of other bikes out there.
