Do you want to become a member? All you need is to pay the nominal membership fee and abide by the Three Rules of the Society of Three Speeds:

  1. I will endeavor to promote three speeds as a viable means of transportation.
  2. I will not denigrate three speed bicycles and will not allow others to disparage these humble bicycles.
  3. I will ride my three speed bicycle with pride and immense enjoyment. If I have not yet procured a three speed bicycle, I will do my best to obtain one posthaste.

The membership fee for Society of Three Speeds is $10 in the US, $15 rest of world. (Thank you, postal service, for astronomical international postal rates.) But from now until Monday April 7th (by 11:59 PM PDT), you can get three dollars off on membership, so US memberships are $7 and International $12!

  1. Shawn, I don't own a three-speed, but I own a bike with a 3-speed SA hub. It's on my Brompton and technically the bike is a 6 speed since there is a two speed derailer. Does this fall within the rules, or would I be looked down upon for trying to use this bike as my "3-speed?
