I did - I took out the back 6-speed wheel and put in a 2-speed a month back. My first 'surgery' on any bike, ever.
After that I was still unhappy with the 44T chainwheel for uphills so I installed a 39T and now I'm much happier.
Sure it's a bit slow for riding in parks and just terrible for downhill, but for commuting I'm happy to max out at 12-15mph. At least, that's my excuse
