Even if you can lift on front wheel, than rear, can anyone "bunnyhop" straight on up at 15-20mph? To me, that's the only, but _BIG_ drawback to a fixie. It's so much faster to jump on and off curbs, say, at some intersections etc.
you just have to learn to lift your legs regardless of where your pedals are, or learn to set it up so your pedals are where you like them in order to bunnyhop on a freewheeler.
