Hey Emily, please do join the club. I ride a singlespeed road bike 8 miles each way to work and I love it. I love that Felt you're eyeing. Mine's the Soma Delancey, and I have some funky handlebars on it, which are very comfortable. The handlebars are available sold separately from Soma. They're the "urban pursuit" model. I am going to cut them, though, to be shorter. As for hills, I manage them by putting an easy-enough gear on the bike, which I figured out after some trial and error. The gear is easy enough for me to just manage the steepest hill on my commute, standing up.
