Started riding fixed at 38, and still flying the flag at 50. I keep it fixed as I find it helps maintain my knee muscles which compensate for my ever-deteriorating knees. Still ride SS on the BMX (yes, ok ), but when I got a Brompton a few years ago, the gear experience and lack of fixed action was a massive disappointment, to the extent I converted it to fixed. Do what makes you happy.
