The chain falls off pretty often particularly when going over bumpy areas but because it s a one speed it s easy to put it back on.

Well yes unless the bicycle has a fixed gear or coaster brake the bicycle shown has a non derailer drivetrain and the chain was a bit slack so i could keep the stick under the chain all the way around to the top.
Sometimes it falls off to the inside and sometimes to the outside but always on the fixed gear.
If your chain breaks or falls off the brake fails.
Once your bike is upside down look at the derailleurs which are the small machines on the front and back gears that move the chain.
If the bike has more than maybe 2000 miles on it then likely the chain is worn out and possibly the rear sprockets have developed a hook.
Afterwards wipe the derailer dry then oil it up well with a heavy oil preferably bike chain oil.
To enjoy the one speed experience to the max a fixed gear is the best choice if you ride mostly on pavement.
I pay around 9 for an 8 speed sram chain at my local bike shop.
