I always get bullied for my fixie but it's just incredibly flat here and I have literally no reason to ever shift.

I down shift every time I slow down. Accelerating up to speed is easier and faster. And my gear ratio is higher than what would be practical on a fixie, meaning my top speed is higher.

Still, there is something to say for the simplicity of a fixie
