I’m not necessarily challenging your opinion because aparently you’re going to die on this hill, but … This is not a tiny hill. But most people would say that single speed has none of the disadvantages of fixed. As an aside, I have 3 bikes. I’ve never ridden a fixie but holy fuck I would love to have one.

But most people would say that single speed has none of the disadvantages of fixed. The incessant pedaling even as you’re slowing or cruising can be horrible though. The single speed definitely fixes that.
