Most of my riding is on randonneuring bikes with wide gear ranges. I like to spin up the hills. But sometimes I'll do the same hills on my fixie, which is great fun. I'm a lot faster on the fixie. When I ride an old ten speed, like my Allegro, It's more like the fixie than the rando bikes-- it's harder work, and you go faster.
