I've heard that this man knows what he's talking about. I forget where I heard it, but I heard it somewhere.
Fixies are fun. Geared bikes are also fun. I'm looking for a geary right now to serve as my "hill rider with built-in knee savers". And one of these days when I have a garage, I might even get a recumbent. Why? Cuz they look like fun too. And if I can ever lay my hands on a Ross Polo Bike w/ a banana seat and coaster brake, I'd get one of those too.
