So a fixed gear might not be the best option depending on what you're trying to do.
I will be using this bike to get to and from campus, as well as in and around campus, as well as the occasional grocery store visit.
I'd prefer it to be lightweight, and fairly easy to use. Just something simple, which is why the SS/FG appealed to me.
The terrain is fairly urban, it will be a city commuter, and for campus.
