Right around my house it's nice and flat and I routinely go on 5-mile rides in this neighborhood without any hill climbs. However, any direction I go outside the neighborhood is hilly. We also have a river trail system that's flat and would be a good place for a single speed ride if I were to load up and drive over there. So, I do have a reason to keep it. I just have to relearn the power in place of cadence thing.
