Before I retired nine years i road a fixed to work everyday in New Orleans (read flat). I ride it now at least once a week. I have other bikes. It's a little tough for me in the San Francisco Bay area so I have to avoid steep hills as much as possible. It's an enjoyable ride as long as I avoid the hills. I am 74 years-old.
