Too old to commute on a BMX anymore. Wanted something bigger/faster, and couldn't be bothered with gears.
That would be my real reason.
Also, I only found out about fixed bikes about 4 years ago when my mate tore his ACL. After surgery the physio told him to get out on a road bike just to build the muscles up. His mate lent him his geared road bike because he had just bought a fixed gear. I thought it was fucking crazy, but I warmed to it over time.
