I am. not so much weight, but for cheapness of build and maintenance.
You can't really leave a geared bike outside every day all year round if you want it to work properly for any length of time.
I also think it's easier because of the momentum you can carry up hills.
it's just a bike, the majority of people don't like bikes.
out of those who ride bikes, the majority don't like fixed wheel.
out of those who ride fixed wheel, the majority don't do it to be cool.
see, it's a small world (until someone asks you to paint it)
