They will say it never gets easier...you just get faster.
I agree with you though, heck, that's why I want a fixed gear bike. Plus I just think they are cool. No derailleur and cables, etc. to maintain. Just a massive 1/8" chain that takes forever to wear out and costs $10. Fixed gear wheel is also stronger.
