In the unorthodox way that such an decision is made, the Internet is alive with buzz that the site of the 2006 Singlespeed World Championships has been awarded to a group from Stockholm, Sweden. According to Nick Sande of Surly Bicycles, he and Skip Bernet, who placed last in a special derby at the 2005 World Championships used to determine the 2006 selection committee, considered "about sixteen proposals. Most of them were serious, a couple of them worthless, and six of them were good enough to make this a very difficult decision."
