People whining and warning about hills are usually people who've never lived with them. Hills are not an issue. Sure, some are, but to be honest, the hills around here that give me grief on the fg also give me grief on my geared bike ... though I'm more likely to get up them on the geared bike (with a 30x32 granny, I've really got no excuse). Just get out and ride the things. Eventually you'll work out for yourself what you can and can't do and it'll be far in excess of what non fg riders will expect.
Fyxation makes a pretty neat kit for adding gears to a single speed.
I went to their website and couldn't find anything. Do you have some links? I'll be looking at doing this to my daughter's bike at some point.
