Road bikes *and* fixies are both great. But don't ghettoize the fixed to just short trips! In the right conditions, a 20 miler on a fixed gear f'in rules! I've seen people do 30+ mile charity rides on track bikes, and a kid I know in Denver regularly rides 50 miles to Boulder on his fixie. All depends on what kind of rider you want to be.
