yeah, straight to fixed. you've gotta jump in the water at some point, better get wet all at once rather than feet, balls, gut, etc etc.
As for not being used to spinning, just lower your ratio, and get used to it. Since riding the Polo bike at 42:20, i've got used to spinning loads, and on the normal bike and can go as fast as i used to, but on a lower gear.
