Ok gonna try and articulate every positive response or comment you have ever read on SS.
Passion!
Look at the responses, all of them talk positively on what it does for the rider in terms of skill, ride, strength, technique improvements, simplicity, purity etc, all recounted with passion.
For me it is all of the above plus it takes me to that first ride on a bike for the first time, 4yo and not a care in the world, just the magic of the bike, a SS then and a SS now. Whilst all my bikes (geared mtbs, roadies etc) take me there to where I first discovered the passion in the late 1960s, it the SS that does it best.
Do you live to ride or ride to live, do you want to know?
Then get a SS and hit the forest or bush, only then will you truly know what you have been missing, it is the missing link.
We can all tell you but you just need to 'Do, don't think, Do' go an get on a SS and answer your own question.
