New build by Mathew, single speed city bike.

New build by Mathew — single speed city bike at the British seaside. Shingle beach, grey sky, the moody beauty of coastal winter.

That blue fork adds the only bright accent against natural bamboo. Single speed simplicity suits city riding: no gears to adjust, no derailleurs to maintain, just pedal and go.

The south coast (or similar) provides the backdrop. Wooden groynes, pebble beach curving into distance, the kind of English coastal scene that rewards cold-weather cycling.

Flat bars give urban manoeuvrability. The geometry sits upright enough for traffic awareness. Mathew built something practical for daily use.

Coastal rides offer wind, salt air, the particular pleasure of emptiness when summer tourists have departed. Mathew's single speed will know these roads through every season.

City bikes serve daily. Single speeds serve simply. Mathew combined both for a commuter that happens to look this good. 🌊
