That's the thing. IME if you ride a fixed for most of the time, when you get back on a geared bike you'll be surprised at how well you can go up hills.
It's not a case of spinning like mad and going nowhere, because your style should have been influenced by the fixed training. You just find a gear a bit lower than normal and power on up.
