^ Being both a geared and ss rider, I can appreciate this element of challenge.
In fact, one of the things I enjoy about single speeding is the accomplishment of getting to the top of a hill without dismounting. Sure, I'd never get up the technical ascents that I would with gears, but I used to love getting to the top of a steep hill and thinking "I can't believe I managed to do that on a singlespeed"
This is of course entirely irrelevant now as I live in Norfolk :-)
