I ride a Breezer for my daily commuting (about 13 miles round trip). I
have replaced the 3-speed with a Surley flip flop hub and use the
fixed gear part of this almost always. I had multiple issues with the
Shimano 3-speed and, even when it was working OK, I didn't need or use 1st
or 3rd gear. For me commuting in mostly flat Indianapolis, Indiana, the
fixed gear works well for me - and it is fun! I also have a Raleigh "One
Way" with a flip flop hub that I also use as my general purpose bike. I
mostly use the fixed gear with this too.
