I went straight to SS then fixed 3 months later when I got back into cycling this spring so for me SS/fixed is really all i'm used to. Therefore "going back" to gears and a freewheel would actually mean buying a new bike, so the likelihood is that i will remain fixed for the forseeable future. I guess it is different for people who've ridden bikes for years and years making the switch though.
