That happens in the path a lot, specially going to Manayunk. To my enjoyment some friendly competition happens amongst the early birds rolling towards Philly.

They drop me on the flats, but not for much.When they get to the 4% climb on Umbria street I drop them like goose poop. I do not have the opportunity of riding of flats too much, but the fixed is making me develop better climbing form.

Now I have to get used to the drop bars again. Got me a pair that fits me (alu. 12$) since I am tired of pushing wind with my chest from the horns.
