What Use for a Single Speed?

Hi,

So I used to have an endurance road bike and would enjoy riding my single speed bike if I wanted to do a fast ride for an hour. My Endurance bike weighed 23 pounds and my single speed steel bike (a Motobecane Track) weighed in at 18.5 pounds. But I gifted the endurance bike to a kid.

I then built up my own steel bike from a frameset (Venturi Breezer) (see Breezer Bikes - Bike Archive | 2013 | Venturi) and it weights in at around 19 pounds.

Since it has an aggressive road geometry (the TT of mine is 57.5 vs a ST of 54) and is a steel bike I find I don't ride my motobecane track at all.

So for those of you who have race geometry road bikes, why/when do you ride your single speed bike?
