Si, seņor. North Benbrook, actually, just inside loop 820. As to gearing, well it varies from low 60s on my heavy steel fat tire bikes to low 70s on my light aluminum skinny tire bikes. It's basically flat in town except for the occasional overpass or whatnot, but quite hilly in some places in the country, where I do a lot of my longer rides. Also, wind is more of a factor than hills, and generally I don't ride very far fixed or singlespeed on days when sustained winds are over 20mph, opting instead for one of my multi-speed "geared" bikes.
