Both bikes you chose are great. Pick the one that speaks to you. They both have flip flop hubs so you can switch between fixed or single speed. I think the Lager has a little more bling.

Hybrids can work but sometimes people mistake them for a flat bar road bike. Taken from another website "A hybrid bike is one that blends the best characteristics of both road and mountain bikes into a bike that is sturdy, comfortable and fast, and ideal for riding on streets and bike paths." What this means is it can be comfortable to ride but is no speed demon. If you want to speed and agility, a flat road bike could be answer and you would get multiple gears.

Fixed or single speed is much simpler, less parts to wear out and break but there is a sacrifice. Simplicity has its price. With that I love my single speed. I have two bikes that are identical, one is a single speed and the other a 1 by 9 speed and I grab the single speed 9.5 times out of 10. But what works for me may not work for you.
