Do you think I should get a geared road bike, or just add a freewheel & hoods(for comfort) so I can coast down the hills and relax my geo a bit? Thanks.
Personally, I really hate riding single speed without it being fixed. It just feels weird to me, almost like it's some sort of struggle. If I'm going to be on a bike that coasts, it's going to have more than one gear. YMMV.
I think it's good to ride more than one kind of bike. If you have the money to pick up a geared bike, give it a shot.

Thanks. The Anti-Scrod Club tried to convince "the masses" that they were junk lately because of what seems like a couple of bad sets and I'm glad you're happy with yours.
