I live in San Francisco. I see a fair amount of fixed riders around here. I've never ridden a fixed gear, so I'm just curious how the hell they manage that in a hilly city like SF?

Is it difficult?

I must admit that some of the nicest and cleanest bikes I see are fixed gears. Their simplistic design is so appealing.

the key is not hurting yourself as you walk your bike through the mission...although there are a good number of riders (click) here (www.sffixed.com) that might help you with some info! ;)
