HTFU solves this.
either gear down so you can make it up the hills and havbe to learn to spin on the flat or go with a more comfortable gear on the flat and build your leg strength on the hills.
I'd personally go for the first and suspect the majority of people on here would agree but there are bound to be a few who think they cant learn to spin.
only real need to have two cogs on a bike is for going to the tarck where you have far enough to ride that its easier to change gears than ride very slowly and carefully.
