@Sumo
who said they favour gears? They were just trying to say that there's the right tool for the job, going down big hills is the domain of freewheels. Sure you could do it fixed but it will be slower, sketchier and much more dangerous.
This forum isn't a competition to see who can be the most "pure" to fixed gear cycling.
