Riding fixed lots means you get lots of practice starting again on steep sections; and I generally only walk on bits 17% plus.
And it's a lot easier starting with my 34/29 lowest gear on the Wilier compared to my usual 46/18 if I was riding fixed. Must have stopped 8 or so times on Combe Lane as my legs were fucked.
