What made you start riding fixed?

I ride single speed actually. Only just getting used to cycling shoooos but maybe I will try fixed. I have tried before on a few other peoples bikes and you do feel more at one so I can understand the fascination, I find it difficult to stop though... probably as I aint used to it and also... I don't have beefy boy muscles.

Riding fixed you are allowed to use brakes, you know?
