It's as ridiculous as saying, "I started smoking because I appreciate the robust and full-bodied taste of the fine Turkish and Domestic tobacco blend of Camel cigarettes." You know you only want to look "cool"...
Anyways, Seattle. All I can say after spending some time in that town is: Boy, I'd sure want some gears.
Yeah I had a very hard time getting up hills when I started riding fixed. Im still on 46x17 gi but I can do most of the hills now that I couldnt do before. San Fransisco riders impress me way more, those hills are gnarly!
