I've actually done quite a bit of riding on singlespeeds and fixies. In fact,for a two year stretch that's all I owned. But I've never owned one in super hilly country (and San Diego certainly qualifies).
As I recall, I could still do most of the rides I did on my geary, but I'd just be a lot more wiped out physically at the end. Good for beefing up the muscles when you don't have time for a long ride, I suppose. The QB coupled with the new SA 3-speed fixed gear could be a very interesting project ... Wonder when that SA hub is finally going to come out.
