I would think biking on a single speed bike would be a disadvantage than riding on a geared bike.  Perhaps not?  Don't know I guess...

If "showing off how good you really are" is for some reason really important to you, then...

Earn your way on the podium.

Anything else is just a side-show circus act.

Cheers, Chris

A friend of mine did his first sprint tri in on a beach bike, in sandals, with the lock up chain wrapped around the frame. He came in DFL, but he did finish.

Going #2 on the bike.

It'll impress the hell out of me, unless I'm behind you of course.

i did a 14 mile mtn bike race a few years ago (all singletrack) and the top two guys were on single speed or fixies. . probably about 2500-3000 vertical.  it was pretty crazy!  they are also the guys who made the bike - car documentary a few years back

Have a local masters group that has been throwing together some relay teams... the swimmers are doing the butterfly for sprint distance swims.  I told one of them jokingly he was a show off and he laughed and agreed.

I'd be po'd if I was racing that sprint! It gets crowded enough in some OWS just to do freestyle... imagine getting smacked by someone doing fly !
