I don't see what the big deal is. I don't live in a hilly area and my bike has a front brake. I'd just like to be able to ride to the store or the bar without having to wear special shoes.
Pedal straps might be a better solution but I hate the way they look.
Do you hate toe clips and straps? Or the thick straps for platform pedals?
Foot retention isn't the key to humanity's survival. Sure makes a fixed gear bike better though. Don't knock it till you try it.
And putting on special shoes to bike is half the fun.
What part of Columbus do you live in?
