Love my geared bike and my fixed/ss (which is fixed 99% of the time) and the fixed is the commuter so you arent crazy. I really didn't think I would like fixed, I bought it because it was cheap when my former geared commuter was stolen. The bike shop insisted on me trying it fixed and just ended up giving me a cog and lock ring and now I am hooked. The only time fixed is bothersome is if gets vertical or have to hop curbs any other time is a blast. If you get a ss bike at least try it fixed for a week or two, cogs and lockrings are dirt cheap.
