Got the glasses. I'm ready to roll.

Serioulsy though, this would be my first road bike and I haven't ridden a single speed since I had a BMX in grammar school. I see all these cats tooling around SF on single speeds and I always wonder how in the hell they make it up those hills. I can take some hills in top gear on my old mountain bike, but not many and I usually have to drop a gear or four at the top to rest up. I suppose I would have to get stronger if I got a singlespeed. And gosh, I love the way they look. So simple and clean, the way a Bike's supposed to be.
