Picked up my new Single Speed today. I was a bit afraid on whether the gear ratio would be working out for the hilly topography around here, but I think I should be good if I smartly choose the paths

Very nice. What is your gear ratio?
If your gear ratio is limiting where you can or can’t ride, you should choose a shorter ratio.
Just my 2 cents.
Welcome aboard. Just stand a push till you up the hill. Boom problem solved. Hope it all works well for you.
44/18 isn’t very high. I don’t know the height or grade of hills in your area, I certainty wouldn’t ride up a mountain on that ration, but I suspect that most hills in urban areas would be conquerable with a little bit of practice.
