I dont mind if people want to have fixed only rides. Nothing wrong with it.
I was only disappointed to have missed this one because I'd organised time off around it, and then the fixed only stipulation went up relatively late in the day. I think it was a bit unfair to move the goalposts after thirty or so people had signed up for it without a restriction. (Without wanting to sound like a broken record) I think that any issues arising from Herne Bay ride would easily have been ironed out with a simple call out for safe riding in a group, and a constant pace, at the start of this one.
Five of us went to Frinton (geared), it was good fun and we enjoyed the ride, but obviously we missed out on the larger group buzz; and there were people on the Clacton spin who'd we'd been drinking with in Margate at the end who I would have liked to have met up with again.
I think by limiting spins to one type of bike only, you are missing out somewhat on the diversity (now) of this forum, but thats just my 2c. If people choose it, so be it.
