It is a very different means of cycling though.
Personally I tried it more than anything out of curiosity and just liked it.
Plus, as I was getting back into cycling because I'd really missed it, but also as my docs had recommended it to try and gain fitness, and fixed certainly helps with that!
Its the simplicity that I love and allows me to do some nice rides happily getting into my "flow", and has been a great way of relearning some skills and learning others that I never would have on a geared, but definitely improve my riding whatever bike I'm on.
But I am saving for another bike at the mo, and it will probably be a CX, mainly because of the brilliant versatility that a fixed doesn't have and for longer rides as me knees can only bear so much!
