New to fixed-gear bikes

New guy here! I've been thinking about it for a while and I'm considering getting myself a fixed-gear bike - I've been riding a big, heavy and clumsy mountain-bike for a while now and it's not ideal for getting around on.

I was just wondering if you guys would give me some advice on the subject.
  • First of all, what are the advantages/disadvantages to riding a fixed gear bike?
  • Are there any precautions I should take while riding a fixed gear bike?
  • What price should I be looking at for my first one? (I'm from the UK, but I can convert dollars to pounds if you're from the US or elsewhere.)

I hope you can help with these questions, thanks a lot.
