Bit o' this...
...and a bit o' this...
Perhaps I'd get a *marginal *improvement from climbing fixed a particular hill that required one particular gear, but for the most part I'm glad of the option to change up or down depending on the terrain at any given point. Adjust to fit.
I did consider that climbing fixed might assist those whose constitutions fail before their legs do (myself included), being denied the option of an easier ride might help to push us up.
