also a half assed spoonfeeding to those who genuinely want to know and aren't just fishing for (You)s, since i have nothing better to do rn than to type this up:
road bikes are built for the cycling equivalent of a marathon, not everyone needs a road bike, in fact there are countries which have almost no cycling sports history and almost no one rides a road bike but they ride other types of bikes, including heavy singlespeed military bikes and town bikes which only have like 3-7 gears
look up some directions by bicycle on google maps, it shows you elevation changes and says "mostly flat" etc, if your town is "mostly flat" you're just being a pussy and you should be fine with a fixie or a singlespeed after some training, if you're currently only have some normalfag BSO town/mountain/hybrid bike as reference then keep in mind the BSO is heavy and unergonomic and unaerodynamic and high rolling resistance and it might have a low gearing or large gaps between gears
in a european city with narrow streets, not even the cars are going fast, where i live i shit you not the speed limit in the inner city is 40 km/h and 30 km/h in residential areas and the straights are like 200 meters at most, if you have a track bike you'll be waiting for cars instead of the other way around, so you don't need gearing for particularly high speeds
using the calc below if you have 700c rims, 25mm tires, 48:16 gear ratio then climbing up a hill could be done comfortably at 23-30 km/h at 60-80 rpm and on the flats or downhill you can comfortably get up to 38-50 km/h at 100-130-ish rpm, it was an old myth that you had to spin like lance armstrong to get up a hill, a lower climbing cadence is fine, and track sprinters can get up to very high cadences
