I guess it is not easy to flip the wheel more then once or twice.
What do you do in hilly places?

I'll be taking it on a 100 mile ride this weekend... it runs a slightly lower gearing than my other fixed gear road bike / tourer (and is a bit lighter) so I expect the ride to be pretty nice.
Flipping the wheel is pretty easy and climbing is climbing... the harshest climb I have ever done on this bike was a short hill here that has a 17- 22% grade. Longer and more moderate grades aren't really an issue.
