The bike in my signature is a '64 Schwinn Varsity converted to a 26" coaster brake bike. It's a cruiser. Great bike to pull out and just pedal. I love it, and just finished restoring an American Eagle single speed English roadster lookalike. Neither would be my only bike. There's enough hills and head winds to make gears a good thing. I see the guys with fixies, I just don't see them in the hilly sections.
