That 8th street hill is a monster, and I bet it would be tough getting up in these conditions. I'm also working with a single speed as I found my 15 year old derailleurs didn't love winter anymore. I can barely get up 8th st in good conditions with my current gearing, I'm sure I'd be walking up it now, and praying I didn't die on the way down that hill to the T intersection on all the ice.

The 8th street hill is brutal and I'm not sure how the handful of cyclists manage in the winter. I use to walk up and down that hill every day on my trek to the office.
Apparently, some residents are calling for a traffic circle to be installed at the bottom of the hill (8th street and Royal Ave) which would end up creating a serious gong show in the winter.
