The whole reason I got a fixed gear was to learn how to ride a bike again, if that makes any sense at all. So every ride is a technique practice ride, at first (keep practicing hopping, skidding, pace pedal resistance, etc but HAVE A BRAKE) at first. Then later on it's "jesus how do I climb this hill, or spin down the back side. Then later still, it's "can I go on a ride with geared riders and hang [depends]" but it's all so much fun. Treat every ride as an opportunity to learn and it will be hella fun.
